The plan was to leave me with the device addresses of 9000/9001/9002 -
they're 'fake' anyway. The actual devices are 8F0,8F1 and 8F2. So If they
can map the port name in the VM directory I'd be set. The thing is we have
approximately 5 weeks of in house VM experience.
I can make the /etc/chandev thing work

The portname is in your /etc/chandev.conf . If you know the new portname
before you shutdown on the old OSA you could prepare the new file and
only need to copy it to the correct location when you only have the 3270
session. I tend to miss those opportunities so I learned the trick like
this:
perl -pi -e 's/LXF7/LXnn/' /etc/chandev.conf
Hopefully they do the device address change in the CP directory entry of
your Linux guest, otherwise you also need to change the address in the
/etc/chandev.conf when you get the OSA at a different virtual address.
