Yes, been there, done that.  My boss is looking to consolidate all our servers 
on one or two platforms, i.e. all Sun and VMware virtual servers, for a less 
expensive disaster recovery plan.  We currently run our TSM server on a pSeries 
LPAR.

.
One reason you won't find much about this, is that TSM makes it very
easy to run more than one TSM server instance on a single OS image. This
will be inherently more efficient than virtualization via VMware, Sun
LDOM, IBM z/VM, or IBM pSeries LPAR. Instructions are in the TSM
Installation Guide and Administrators Guide.
