Step 1. Log On to z/VM

When you turn on a 3270 display device, a z/VM logo and a logon prompt should appear. (If the z/VM logo does not appear, you cannot log on to z/VM at that device.)

You can log on from the logo, or clear the screen before entering the LOGON command. To log on from the logo, enter your user ID and password in the appropriate fields and press ENTER. If you clear the logo, you receive a logon prompting message that allows you to enter:

logon userid

If your user ID is accepted, you receive a password prompt message similar to the following:

ENTER PASSWORD (It will not appear when typed):

After you enter your password, CP displays the current system log message and you are ready to begin your session.

If an external security manager (ESM) is installed and security label checking is enabled, you can specify a security label on the LOGON command. For additional information, see z/VM: CP Commands and Utilities Reference.
