I need to emphasize that this is not an online/offline issue. Response to D M=CHP() indicates that only certain OSAC devices--online or offline--can be accessed by certain LPARs. Turns out that this association is not defined in the IODF at all but in the OSA 'Advanced Facilities' app on the HMC. Support here used to be provided by a couple of colleagues who left the company amid the shock waves from the outsourcing offensive recently celebrated in the media.
We don't need any changes for now, but at least I know where to find the sweet spot. Kudos once again to IBM Main! . . .

There you can define the device as initially offline. Or it could be part of the ICC/OSC definition that is accessed from OSA Advanced Facilities at the HMC. Assignments can be made by LPAR/MIFID and other criteria there. I use the latter, combined with IODF definitions that put all online and use CUA assignments that are the same on all LPARs. But they could easily be different. Good luck!
