Having to go through a whole boot process is highly problematic
for a server that facilitates many purposes
Just a few more thoughts about cloud computing, software as a service, and IBM i; Say one partition is used for OS updates, another for hosting applications, and another for a mirror. Install OS updates. Swap production to the mirror. Update the production partition. Swap production back. Then, update the mirror. I'm not much of a system admin, but it seems like that would work.
On the other hand, Steve Wills mentioned in his blog about hosting multiple runtime environments under IBM i, without partitions. We seem to forget about that with all the hype about virtual servers, but IBM i supports hosting multiple environments natively, using virtual IP addresses, multiple HTTP server instances, subsystems, library lists, object-level authority, and so forth. You can install your applications in one library, while setting up other libraries for data - separated by organization. It's not like you have to deploy an application runtime environment under separate partitions.
