moving kerberos master to new server

Hello,
Currently using kerberos 5.
Soon I plan to migrate this server onto another hardware that will
have a new hostname and IP, but same O/S level (aix).

My first thoughts in doing this was to:
Stop  the master server, all clients will then goto to the slave for
authentication.
Install the krb5 binaries, without configuring the new master.
Tar up the /var/krb5 and /etc/krb5 directories, then untar it onto the
new host.
Change the kdc and krb5 conf files with the new hostname. Start the
new master up

Would that work, or is there another sequence I should follow.

Thanks
Pete.
