OK, now we're getting somewhere.  The problem isn't the duplicate UUIDs, it's 
the missing ones.  Thinking about it, the Cookbook has you create a partition 
on the DASD volume containing the root file system to use for LVM.  So, that 
means we have more work to do than just moving the one partition.  We also need 
to move the contents of the PV to a new PV.

The other problem is, just what happened to the other disks that are providing 
these UUIDS:
K6Ec0V-DClh-pFhp-vLAE-yWWf-ZH4u-GtVUIX
ecXHA7-CLLe-g3iN-mEeE-ayxE-KUOn-xtpmFe
ughcI9-ed8q-FQSX-GjJc-JVpn-yTBc-AP4fqK
gDK29H-4fsY-afS8-ARWW-bzqG-KTjK-3Y0GmT

It looks like your non-root DASD volumes are not coming online.

When you have your system booted with the old root device, what does
cat /proc/dasd/devices
show, and what does it show with the new root device?

That's how it should look both before and after.  That's part of the beauty of 
VM.  If you swap out hardware but keep the same virtual device address, a lot 
of things in the guest don't have to be changed.
