I'd probably add the new disks to the machine and use dump/restore to
copy the data over from the old ones.  Then shutdown, switch disks and
boot using the new disks to see if all works fine as it used to.

Reinstalling is probably going to take a while and you might forget to
apply again some old local hack.
