IPCSPARM is the DDNAME to which you need to allocate the correct PARMLIB data set. If you are going to use IPCS's ISPF dialogs, there are several more DDNAMEs to allocate. MVS IPCS Customization manual has a section titled Using IPCS on Another System which describes this. As to getting the libraries, the assumption is that at some time you had installed all of the releases for which you will need to process dumps, and saved the IPCS libraries.
