You didn't say what the server/workstation model is. If it's a Sun server like a E220R or E420R, then yes, the id's will change if you move the hba. Look for your server manual and refer to the pci slots on the motherboard. The Sun System Handbook site, http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/ , has diagrams of the motherboards.
Some of the pci slots are 5v, 3.3v or a 3.3v/5v (meaning either voltage pci module will work).
I know that some fiber channel hba's will keep their lun id's when an extra hba card is installed, but you'll have to refer to the hba manual to be sure.

good luck.

NAME

       ql-hba-snapshot - display specific information of the QLogic HBA.

SYNOPSIS

       ql-hba-snapshot <Host number> [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       FC HBA Snapshot Utility

       This  utility  displays	the  details  of  the QLogic HBA attached to the system. It uses one of the two file systems for scanning: proc or
       sysfs.

       <Host number> | <-a/--all> [optional]

	      Provide the <HOST NUMBER> to display the detailed information of the HBA.  With no option  specified,  general  information  of  all
	      hosts  will  be  displayed.   Ex.  # /usr/sbin/ql-hba-snapshot <Host Number> # /usr/sbin/ql-hba-snapshot --procfs <Host Number> (For
	      procfs)

       -h, --help

	      Prints the help message.	Ex.  # /usr/sbin/ql-hba-snapshot --help

       -hl, --hostlist

	      This option displays the list of QLogic hosts (HBAs) connected to this system.  The <HOST NUMBER> can be obtained by using following
	      command Ex.  # /usr/sbin/ql-hba-snapshot --hostlist

       -p, --parameters

	      This  option  displays  the  command  line parameters that can be passed to the QLogic HBA driver.  Ex.  # /usr/sbin/ql-hba-snapshot
	      --parameters <Host Number>

       -s, --statistics

	      This option displays the statistical information for specified host. Stastics option is only supported in "sysfs" based  scan.   Ex.
	      # /usr/sbin/ql-hba-snapshot --statistics <Host number/--all>

       -proc, --procfs

	      This options forces the the utility to scans information based on "procfs", instead of default sysfs.  Ex.  # /usr/sbin/ql-hba-snap-
	      shot --procfs [Other valid option]

       -v, --verbose

	      This enables verbose display. The detailed information of LUNs will be displayed in addition to standard one.  This option  is  only
	      supported in sysfs.  Ex.	# /usr/sbin/ql-hba-snapshot --verbose <Host number/-a>
