Do you have a software vendor that ties license to CPU ids and does not reliably give you D/R keys in a timely fashion? Running under VM is a quick fix when the vendor drops the ball.
As to cost, that very much depends on the particular vendors and products. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

We are monoplex shop(just one production LPAR and one Sandbox) and does performing DR on zVM saves any cost in terms of licensing ?
