To be pedantic.... 

You have a zEnterprise node, which is a z196/z114 with zero or one 
attached zBX.   A zBX may have one to four frames.  You can couple up to 
eight nodes.  This comprises the domain of a single zManager. 

I suppose you could get clever and set up some sort of recovery and 
failover system for your blades within the scope of this zManager, but 
with little to no hands on experience with one of these things I am not 
totally sure how.  I am very confident that it can be done, however, I do 
believe that there are APIs at the customer's disposal.

I think the way it works is that you have a 'zEnterprise CEC' which is
composed of a z114/z196 and optionally a zBX .

The zBX is not standalone

I do not suppose there is any way of sharing a zBx between 2 CECs.
