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.
