It will not work if the drives are in raid
Don't know if that is really true ... Anyway: Install a minimal system and then rsync everything over.
I always prefer dump(8) and restore(8) via nc(1). All those programs are available from a CentOS boot cd. But be aware that this makes a full clone with all the possible crap and leftovers which might be hanging around on your system.
So I tend to do an appropriate install of the new machine, and selectively copy configuration files and the data I know I want and install the packages I need. Yes, it's a bit more work than just cloning, but also a good opportunity to get rid of old ballast.
