Start the CF Service Machines on z/VM

The first step in starting the sysplex environment on z/VM® is to start the CF Service Machines.

Log on to the user ID that is defined as the console user ID for the CF Service Machine (that is, LOGON CFCONSOL). This allows you to see any errors that may occur during the startup of the CF Service Machines.
From the CFCONSOL user ID (or any user ID that has CF Service Machine XAUTOLOG authority), issue the following commands to start the CF Service Machines:
```
XAUTOLOG CFCC1
XAUTOLOG CFCC2
```

Note: CP will not allow you to LOGON to a user ID that is a CF Service Machine. The only way to start a CF Service Machine is with the CP XAUTOLOG or AUTOLOG commands. Since you cannot log on to a CF Service Machine, you must use the z/VM secondary console support facility (SCIF) to display CFCC initialization messages.

The following is a sample of messages that are displayed on the CF Service Machine console when CF Service Machine CFCC1 is started. The CF Service Machine is not ready to use until it has finished IPLing.
