normally in such cases you install a template setup on one machine
followd by a image of the complete disk (from a live CD or stick)
and install the image on the spare disk

man dd

make sure you have a *full initrd* and if you avoid specific
graphics drivers the installation will boot on most hardware

[root@localhost:~]$ cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/91-host-only.conf
hostonly="no"

in case of RAID10 systems i vene put two of the 4 disks to
the new machine and make a RAID-rebuild on both of them

if the system does not boot up you chossed the wrong one
but since it wil not boot at all no harm - try different
disks to move
