Hang on, are you asking about the SCSI or the SAN? If you are booting
off the SAN then the internal disks are irrelevant and you can boot each
  LPAR off the SAN. But what about the *required* ethernet adapters for
each LPAR?

It seems to me that someone (you??) should have done some planning in
advance here and/or taken some IBM education classes.
