If multiple sysplexes share a PKDS, or if a sysplex and other non-sysplex systems share a PKDS, there is no provision for automatic update of the in-storage copies of the PKDS on the systems which are not in the same sysplex as the system initiating the PKDS update.

When you are sharing the PKDS in a sysplex, there will be occasions when you change or delete PKDS records, causing changes to the PKDS. In order to reflect the change on other systems in your sysplex, you must refresh the PKDS on each sharing system.
