Essentially, you're trying to predict the future; it's difficult to be comprehensive about what
might go wrong.
Maybe you had hardware failures, maybe you didn't. Maybe some system services left clutter that needs to be cleaned out before they start, maybe they didn't. Maybe someone put in settings that didn't get saved into any configuration file, maybe they didn't. Maybe you had disk corruption as a result of unclean shutdown, maybe you didn't. Maybe the RAIDs can't find all their disks for some reason and won't go. Or not. We know nothing about your systems or the software and data therein. At this point all we can do is guess, and know that whatever we say is 99% likely to be wrong.
