The old system is still up as that was our fallback option.
We don't have a spare drive in our lab to use for a hot catalog backup test, at least not yet. That was our next option, but we would need downtime again to do the catalog backup/restore.

Do you still have the old master running? Have you tried using a hot catalog backup (cold backups are deprecated anyhow)? Justin.
