Hi,

I'm planning to migrate an existing PVE to new hardware. The new server will have different components (CPU, NIC, ...). Is it possible to just take the disks from the old server and install them in the new server?

I will probably have to reconfigure the network interfaces. Anything else I missed?

Or is this in general a really bad idea because PVE installer detects hardware components during install and adjusts parameters, installed packages, ... to the hardware detected during install?
