The z13 includes support to retain the NPIV WWPNs during an upgrade. Look for the "Update I/O World Wide Port Number" task. (Read it as "Update I/O Serial Number Portion of WWPNs".) This was previously an RPQ. To the extent you keep the same IOCDS definitions and PCHID assignments, you can keep the same NPIV WWPNs.
