It will not.
WWPNs for Ports in Storage Virtualize products are generated from the WWNN of the Node Canister (which is programmed vpd in MFG and then stored in multiple places) and based on the slot location and adapter port numbering.
For your reference the replacement procedure is documented here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/flashsystem-5x00/8.4.x?topic=rrcep-removing-replacing-interface-adapter
