Your plan sounds good. You didn't say what OS you were running. We run AIX, and rather than export the DB and import it on the new server, we just export the volume groups on the old server, move them to the new server (recable), and them import the volume groups on the new server. Make sure you know what you're doing if you do this, and no matter what you do, make sure you have good backups before you start.
