Q: Migration assistant and external hard drives

I have bought a new Macmini and intend to use Migration assistant to set it up via Time machine back up. On my old Macmini have iTunes on 1x external USB hard drive, all my Video/FCP projects on a 2nd external USB hard drive and of course Time Machine on a 3rd external USB hard rive. Are there particular do's & don'ts that I need to observe to make this work? I have read some articles where I should sign out of iTunes on my old machine and unmount the external drive and then perform the opposite on the new one etc.

Mac mini (Early 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8GB RAM
