1. Install DRA on the new machine as a secondary server and join it to the 'Multi-Master Set'.  For more information on this topic, please refer to: NETIQKB10322: How do I add a secondary server to a multi-master set in Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA)? https://www.netiq.com/kb/esupport/consumer/esupport.asp?id=NETIQKB10322
2.
