ABSOLUTELY. It's wonderful and vHMC beats pHMC hands down when it comes to updates. Remember all that time the HMC stares at you blankly when it's waiting for UEFI to boot etc etc? Yeah the vHMC has none of that. Slap, boom, bang, booting. And you can give it more memory and CPU if you'd like too!

It takes a bit of VMWare Network skills to expose that private HMC to Power System network but if you can't do that you are not a competent VMWare admin.

I am not using vHMC. I have a physical HMC. Actually I have two physical
HMC's. One in each city hosting a Power 8 or two. Either can act as a
backup to the other one in the other city. I rather count on that if I'm
doing an HMC upgrade and fear something may happen. Or the upgrade goes
to pot.

If you have multiple vmWare boxes couldn't you do the same thing?
