I did master server migration once with Symantec Consulting, across different OS, different hostname.
I guess your migration keeps the same hostname, because you could test it yourself and you are confident it will work - I don't think you can really do that with the hostname changed on new master.
in my migration, it was like this.
From = Solaris9, old_hostname, 6.5.3
To = RHEL, new_hostname, 6.5.3
Because this one was with new hostname, after the migration I found few of the SQL backup scripts (on the backup clients, of course) had to be modified to reflect new master server name in there.
Symantec consulting's migration binary does not update the vault profile properly, so I had to update it manually.
The job database started with jobID 1 - in other words, it did not migrate the job database, so we had to keep the old server around for a little while.
If you post your plan here, then that'll probably cover it - but let me ask anyway, did you test it with the EMM too?
I'm surprised that EMM database can be migrated across different OS.
