Ok. That's a possibility. A darn slim one, but one nonetheless. So, if
I was running package X on my hosting lpar, and it went bonkers to the

With apps on the host, you may run into times where you may need to bring
the host down for some reason. This means bringing all the LPARs down.

not
having to purchase an HMC,, may offset the cost of a core of IBM i
