This is a good document regarding the vHMC:
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1020969

Some of the more important (to me anyway) Q&A stuff:

Q: Are existing HMC customers entitled to vHMC?
A: No. vHMC is a separate offering and must be purchased separately. There is no conversion and no upgrade offering.

Q: Can x86 based vHMC licenses (5765-HMV) be converted to POWER vHMC (5765-HMA )?
A: No. They are two different offerings.
R: Apparently you don't want to "try" one and then go to the other.

Q: What restrictions are unique to vHMC on POWER?
A:
- POWER vHMC cannot manage the server it is is hosted on.
This implies the hosting POWER server must be managed by Novalink or another HMC instance. IVM managed servers are not supported.
- The HMC Virtual Appliance for PowerVM does not provide graphics adapter support for adapters assigned to the partition. "Local console" access is limited to command line only.
