Hythim,
Are both these chassis in the same domain? (Under the same cluster IP address?) If so, you can just create new Service Profiles from the templates. If they are in two different domains, yes, copying XML or just re-creating the template in the new domain would probably be easiest.
If you had UCS Central, you could join both domains to Central and just use Global Service Profiles and avoid the problem all together.

Hythim,
There are quite a few options when using different service profiles with new blades. You may opt to:
-Clone existing service profiles from existing service profiles.
-Created new service profiles from existing initial/updating templates.
-Create new service profile all together.
It just depends on what your needs are as far as deployment.
Here is an FAQ on UCS Director Licensing:

As far as best practice, make sure you are using Port-Channel link policy for your FI to IOM connections.

Hi Wesley,
Thanks for your reply
I mean copying templates between 2 different chassis. From the old to the new.
Is copying xml is valid or there is a better way?
