Just finished a test of a system with 43 disks and the same scsi mappings and windows vols. 

  • Shutdown both servers (did not do anything to the source server in terms of offlining disks etc)
  • Remove all disks (except C: and E:) from source in vCenter
  • Assigned disks to new server in the same sequence including SCSI mappings (this was VERY tedious with 43 disks in the UI.. If I did this more I'd powercli it).
  • Powered on new server
  • Onlined all disks
  • Imported foriegn disks (just right click on 1st disk and choose import foriegn disks and this will import all disks and volumes at once)
  • The import checks the health of the disk/vol which is nice before you click OK.

Far more simple than I expected considering this is MS tech! Hopefully production will be a similar experience.
