Moving HDD to new SCSI card

Dear all,

We have AIX 4.3.3 on IBM F80, we need to add a 36.8 Ultra3 HDD, which will
required Ultra3 SCSI card. IBM CE says that since there are no bays
available, existing 03 HDDs needs to be moved to new SCSI card. This will
result in re-assignment of exising HDDs and data will not be available.

What should we do to make data on existing HDDs available after this
upgrade, without restoring the backup?

Thanks.
