From the HMC if you go to the operations section of the VIOS partition it will allow you to run any command. I still like to do things via ssh but it's hard to break out of old habits.

Sue,
-- IF -- all the storage was on the V3700 to start with yes I could have, however I had to move it from internal storage to the V3700, so it
physically had to move. The most important thing was the only down time
was to copy the load source over. Converting to external storage just got easy in a VIOS environment.
I have to admit, VIOS is starting to win me over particularly with the management mainly in the HMC code. The only command I had to run on the VIOS side was CFGDEV then a command or two to verify the Fibre logged in (it did).

I just converted an LPAR from using Virtual SCSI under VIOS to a Fibre
Channel with NPIV. Steps were simple:
Jim, you did it the hardware .... You could have
1) create VFC ports
2) shutdown
3) add VFC ports to host
4) map the LUNs to the VFC host
5) IPL
No load source migration. No add/remove.
