Why didn't you just remove the disk from server A and perform a dd of server B's disk onto the sdb disk that was in server A? Then you don't have to do anything as the disks are exact replica of each other.
Thank you for your suggestion. I did not do it the way you suggested for three reasons:
1) server B is a production server and I wanted to avoid as much downtime as possible
2) server B is running with SAS drives and server A is running with SATA drives
3) I want to create a way to mirror the server B system to another hard drive not just this one time but periodically also in the future in automatized way
