While PR/SM and CP share some DNA, they each have mutated to the point that they wouldn't recognize each other at a family reunion. Yes, PR/SM uses SIE to create partitions and CP uses SIE to create virtual machines. There are two sets of SIE hardware, if you will, so that the partition AND the virtual machine are executing on the hardware with most of the SIE assists still intact. Is the virtual or real?
