Thanks.
At this time we only have 6 Linux systems - 3 on each OSA card. So only 3
have to change.
Excuse the ignorance but how/where do I change the system to 'not specify'
a OSA portname. I looked thru the YAST menus but cannot find it.
Thanks.

If you're using the same physical OSA cards, and you're not changing which
one a particular Linux system uses, then no, you shouldn't have to change
the port name. If you're at current microcode levels, a port name is not
required anyway. But, in your case, since you have one set, all systems
that connect to it have to provide it. If you want to stop using a port
name, all systems that currently specify one will have to be changed to not
specify one.
