Restoring vcenter with new IP/Hostname

If the existing vcenter server was not recoverable, and i installed vcenter on another server with a different hostname and IP address. Would i experience any problems with this vCenter server? The new vCenter server will be pointing back to the original vcenter database.

when i upgraded my vcenter server from win2003 x86 to win2008 x64 i used the original hostname/ip and it worked fine.

i did obviously have access to the original vcenter server and migrated the settings etc as described here
