No. CP is a hypervisor. Z/VM is an operating system of which CP is but
one component.
>You cannot run "applications" on z/VM directly.
Both CMS and GCS are part of z/VM. You can run applications on either
directly.
>Note that CMS is not z/VM.
Neither is CP ;-)
Both CMS and GCS are part of z/VM. Further, since the CP/67 days CMS
has been "first among equals", to the extent that two of the common
slang names for VM have been CP/CMS[1] and VM/CMS. All of the VM
maintenance procedures are designed around CMS.
[1] That name was also applied to CP/67.
