The disk/by-id file names are made up from hardware properties.
I believe to see in the name at least: Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number.

So you will have to find the configuration file which knows that
/dev/disk/by-id address and change it either to the new hardware id or
to a /dev/disk/by-uuid address, which refers to the cloned disk content.


Have a nice day :)
