The NIP console device numbers are read from the IODF during an IPL IRIM and saved in a data structure in SQA. The NIP console RIM (IEAVNPCA) frees that storage before it exits, so the list of devices that were eligible to be NIP consoles is not retained in storage to be used later by a DISPLAY command.
