Change a central instance to another host

Question

Hi @all,
we want to change a Central Instance (ABAP and JAVA distributed) to another host.
centralinstance now sapci01 windows2000 Server 32 Bit
databasehost now sapdb01 windows2003 Server 32 Bit
centralinstance after sapci02 windows 2003 Server X86_64
sapci01 will deleted
Version SAP ERP 2005 SR1 on Oracle 10.2
In SAP ERP 2004 i can do this easy via SAPINST and he installs the central instance and the Oracle Client.  In newest SAPInst is this not possible.
Can anyone tell me the SAP Conform right way to do this? In Instguide this scenario is not described. In my opinon I must handle this as SysCopy
thx

Hi Martin,
        "we want to change a Central Instance (ABAP and JAVA distributed) to another host. "
Do you mean ABAP and JAVA were installed with seperate installation numbers or database and CI are on another hosts. In either case, you can safely move CI to another physical host.

           databasehost now sapdb01 windows2003 Server 32 Bit
           centralinstance after sapci02 windows 2003 Server X86_64
           sapci01 will deleted

This is not at all system copy as you are not moving database from one physical host to another physical host"
In ERP 2005 sapinst also have the entrie to install only Central instance. It is under distributed system installation. Please check.
Thanks,
