The fundamental way the Console Service component (mostly within the CONSOLE 
address space) manages console behaviors across a sysplex.
See

PARMLIB will only affect the setting when the first system IPLs and creates the 
sysplex.  Thereafter, whatever the sysplex is doing governs what any subsequent 
system joining the sysplex can do.  It may be true that having a PARMLIB value 
that conflicts with the current sysplex value will cause that system to fail 
during IPL.  I'm sure someone more current with the code can point out the 
behavior.
