To clarify.. "all systems that will run with SYSPLEX(YES)".  In the OP's case,
it is a subset of the sysplex.  Other systems obviously can't share BPXPRMxx
and must run with SYSPLEX(NO).

Correct.  All systems don't have to participate in the sharing environment,
but you can't have more than one per sysplex.

All the "sysres" file systems will be shared in the sysplex by all systems
sharing the same sysres set (read only) **.   For the systems participating
in the shared file system configuration, all HFS/zFS files will be shared,
whether you like it or not.

** not entirely true... for example, if one of your non-sharing systems
doesn't use TSM for example, you wouldn't have to mount its HFS/zFS.
