[CentOS] large SCSI RAID, replacing server

I have a system running CentOS 6.3, with a SCSI attached RAID:


http://www.raidweb.com/index.php/2012-10-24-12-40-09/janus-ii-scsi/2012-10-24-12-40-59.html


For disaster recovery purposes, I want to build up a spare system which could take the place of the server hosting the RAID above.

But here's what I see:

# fdisk -l /dev/sdc

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdc'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.


Disk /dev/sdc: 44004.7 GB, 44004691814400 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5349932 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 524288 bytes / 524288 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1               1      267350  2147483647+  ee  GPT
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
#


But here's the partitions I have:

# df -k |grep sdc
/dev/sdc1            15379809852 8627488256 6596071608  57% /space01
/dev/sdc2            6248052728 905001184 5279574984  15% /space02
/dev/sdc5            8175038780 2418326064 5673659088  30% /space03
/dev/sdc4            6248052728 1444121916 4740454252  24% /space04
/dev/sdc3            6248052728 1886640284 4297935884  31% /space05
# 

 
How can I build up a new system to be ready for this existing RAID?   Or will the latest/greatest CentOS just know what to do, and allow me to simply copy the /etc/fstab over and respect it?

Thanks!

Joseph Spenner
