You need to clarify with your DR provider whether you will be running in 
an LPAR or on z/VM, and if running in an LPAR, whether the LPAR config 
will be adjusted to match your home config.  Device numbers (RDEVs) are 
just imaginary widgets in the IOCP deck and *can* be changed.  (Possibly 
for additional cost.)

And, then, you should exercise your DR plan with that in mind.  E.g. run 
second level in a guest that has different RDEV numbers.
