Oh really? I'm not familiar with the 2086-450 minus 25% model.
According to the aforementioned zSeries 890 and z/OS Reference Guide, you
can put a Coupling Facility in a standard LPAR (i.e., using CPs instead of
ICFs), but whether those CPs are dedicated or shared, IBM software charges
apply.

... OOPS!
Mind you, I've never used CP's for CF's.
Why would you? The ICF engine is cheaper than a general purpose engine.

I’m an enthusiastic proselytiser of the universal panacea I believe in!
Well, one reason why is that I only want to bring up my CF LPAR in case of
an extended outage on my external CF.
We investigated all kinds of combinations and permutations, one of them
being to upgrade our 2086-450, having 4 engines and 650 mips, to 2 engines
and 700 mips, and convert one of the

Is it possible to partition a Z890 into an LPAR that functions as a
coupling facility?
Yes. I've done it. It is not recommended by IBM. But I had a spare
IFL that I could dedicate to the CF partition and it works just fine
The down side of using CP's instead of IFL's is that the CPU
capacity used by the Coupling Facility are counted in the total size of the
machine for software licensing purposes.
NOT true!
If you have dedicated CP's to the CF, they don't count.
