for the migration you need to perform a DR procedure and not a copy of media 
db and config files. Then you need to rename the target server.

The DR is described int the NW DR guide, not  on the installation guide.

However if you move the server to other HW, the HostID will change and you 
will need to register the existing base enabler (ot a new one) with a new 
authorization code.

How are you going to get an authorization code if NW 7.4 is not supported 
anymore? Do you have an extended support contract with EMC?

The new server will not work if the enabler is not authorized.
