there is some steps i have suggested below post - have a look that should be work for you.

depends on your switch act as layer 2 or layer3. (there will be small service interruption so suggest to do in maintenance window)

Note : do not turn off old switch after migration until you see stability of the new switch config in case you required to roleback - make a plan.

     to startup configuration and save the running configuration to an external repository too in case of calamities ,
