Nor did I create an HFS file prior to installing this release. But somehow the information went into an HFS called SYS1.LPAR1.OMVS.NOV1710.VAR, SYS1.LPAR1.OMVS.NOV1710.ETC, and so on for the following files ETC, JAVA64V6, ROOT, SBBN7HFS, SIGYROOT, SIZUHFS, VAR, XML > >I cannot find how this was done.

MSM gets information for the products it installs from metadata (DDDEF names for example), MSM defaults (unix file system names to hold pax files for example), and information you fill in the screens (web pages) for data set names / HLQs when installing that product (the data set names associated with the DDDEFs). All the filesystems you wrote about are z/OS file systems. I don't understand your statement "somehow the information went into an HFS called ..." What information? What do you mean "it went into"? Are you saying that somehow ESP elements were installed into all those z/OS file systems?
