Back in those 'old days' there was no ESM (RACF/VM) **distributed with VM**.
Now RACF/VM and a number of other IBM licensed products are shipped with z/VM, even though not everyone pays for or uses them. Anyone using an ESM has a pretty bare-bones AUTOLOG1, which brings up their ESM and a few other DSVMs before their ESM comes up. When the ESM initializes successfully, it XAUTOLOGs AUTOLOG2.

My system came defined with one, but the 191(A) disk is empty. (Back in my old VM/ESA days there was not AUTOLOG2 although there was an AUTOLOG1.) TIA, Frank M.
