Do we need to reinstall RHEL after replacing motherboard?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • There was a h/w issue with motherboard in one of our UCS C200 M1 server and vendor had recommended to replace motherboard.
  • The root filesystem is created on software raid (mdraid), do we have to re-install RHEL and all software on the system, or can we just plug the hard drives into the system with the replaced mother board and boot the system?
