Hypothetical: System Migration

Hi folks, I've got a "friend" who wants to know if this would work.  :)

Needing to move an LPAR from a 550 to a 570+.  The current LPAR is 12x
disks, 8x of them are 35 GB, 4x are 70 GB.  They all reside in a 0595
and are attached to a 2780.  Two raid sets, the 35s and the 70s.

Location where LPAR is moving is a 5094 tower, final config will have
45x 35 GB drives and will consume the entire tower.  Ooodles of 2780s in
there (actually, 5580's - aux cache and all).

Here's the question, overly simplified:  Is it possible to remove the 70
GB units from the ASP (yes, there's enough room remaining on the 35 GB
units), break the RAID set, shut down LPAR, and then just move the 8x 35
GB drives to the 5094 tower, spin up to DST, start RAID, add the
remaining 37x 35 GB drives, start RAID on them, add to ASP, balance, and
off we go?  

Or do I need to do an unload-reload?
