Replacing an HMC Question

So my new HMC has arrived ( still waiting on my Power8 ) and am planning my
migration. So Current HMC is running 7.7.5, the new will have 8.1. Assuming
things like Firmware is correct on all the attached Managed Systems, can I
do something along the lines of
Backup Critical Console Data to a USB
Shutdown the HMC and replace with the new one in the rack?
Boot the new and Restore the Console Dataand be pretty much ready to go?

Do I need to run the Startup/Setup Wizard or will those things be in the
console data?

Asking here as IBM says they have no record of my M/T Serial number. I
guess it is stuck in Customs.

Thanks in advance.
