Hi, Thanks a lot for your help. I am now able to enter the CP commands.
After logging in as a VM user if I log off (LOGOFF command), I guess the virtual machine / guest os is getting shutdown. I guess the VM user and Virtual machine / guest os are one and the same. I was also able to bring up the virtual machine / guest os using the IPL commands. I did this because I knew the IPLSYS for the Virtual machine from one of my earlier screenshot and was able to IPL with "IPL <some number> CLEAR" command. However I still need to find out details about the virtual machines that are defined but not active. and IPL them. Please suggest. Also find the attachment. In the mean while I am going through the zVMBasics pdf.
