We used to do this on several hpux servers at $dayjob. However 95% of those servers have long since been decommissioned, and the remaining server didn't actually need it to begin with. (It was really anything that had an oddball database that needed it)

If it runs Unix is isn't a mainframe.

Only half joking.

I would say it's 90% not joking.

A mainframe has hardware different enough to require a different approach to the OS.

Of course a modern variant of System 390 happily runs tons of Linux VMs.
