If the hardware is identical, you can just move (or copy) the disks.
If the hardware is different, what you need to do depends on _how_
different. Either way, if both the old and new will be on line, you
may need to adjust the IP address and hostname of one or the other.
The Netras store some configuration info on cards, which can make
replacement easier.

So the answer depends on details you haven't provided.

best practice is to create a flashimage (man flar) and to install the
other systems with a jumpstart server (man jumpstart)
