Why are you doing this and do you know/understand the impact?

I don't think it's calculated.

Legacy systems(with 7-digit serial) it was the last digits in the serial. For the later systems I would guess it's simply provided and documented to ensure that is unique in the world.

So from a guide i have its says

"They both use a w19 variable which equals the system ID used to create the WWNs"
Use the following command.
Whack> set perm w19=0x7E1F9
Note: The prom will reflect the value you set with the above command

But im sure "0x7E1F9" is going to be unique to each system.

i think for now i will just do a node recovery.

Yes. The w19 = system ID which controls the WWNs and all WWNs needs to be unique in the world.
