If you are running in lpar, then yes, you're in trouble.

No - not really. But you do have to change the addresses that the dasd
driver will bring online before you shutdown the old and IPL from the new
DASD. How to do this depends on what distro youre running. If you tell the
list, I'm sure someone will post a more specific answer on what changes to
make and where.

If you are running under VM, then VM can hide the address changes from Linux
for a while ( or forever if you really want ) so that you can change them
whenever you get around to it. You can attach the real devices as whatever
virtual device number you want in the directory.
