Do you know if the EXPORT or Upgrade_Export commands would be useful for me ? How do I use this tools ?
I would use the "backup" and "restore" functions. Be aware that when you run the "restore" it will tell you which files it will restore. There's two categories--system and checkpoint data (the second category is labeled wrong because I can't remember exactly what CP calls it). The Check Point data will NOT restore if you do not have IDENTICAL products installed. Run a sysconfig -> 10 (Product Installation) -> Next -> Accept License -> compare this list to the new hardware list.

Install identical products and re-run the restore.
