We have one parmlib for all our LPARs (actually 2, one for prod lpars, one for test/install/sandbox lpars). We try to keep the contents of the members equal for all LPARs and specify differences b.m.o. system symbolics. To facilitate this as much as possible, we added a number of system symbolic to the different LPARNAME sections of IEASYM00. E.g. if LPARX runs Subarea 50 and LPARY runs Subarea 51, we specify &SA in the parmlib members and the &SA system symbolic in the MVSX and MVSY LPARNAME sections of IEASYM00.
