It depends how you will be booting the VIOS to recover it.
Will you be using installios from the HMC, or vios image from USB for example?
If you boot from USB you have an option to change the installation defaults and select the hdisk that you prefer.

I'm lazy and take the one I don't want to smoke out of the frame. :-)

But then I'm guessing your fingers are not in the same room as your
drives... ;-)
