New devices can cause problems, no matter what platform you¹re running on.
On the other side of the coin, we migrated a bit over half a terrabyte in
one Linux image between two DASD vendor¹s boxes, without bringing down the
guest in the process.
There will always be situations that will cause you to need to bring the
image down, no matter what hardware you run on. But, in a virtual
environment, hopefully the need won¹t occur quite as often.
