Two ways I would recommend.
1. DD
Dd allows you to make an image sector by sector. Works for me with no
problem.
dd if=/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s2 of=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2
Where 'if' = the device you want to be copied.
Where 'of' = the device you want to copy to (normally second drive).
This works best if both devices (i.e. both drives) are exactly the
same.
Once you run dd, your can pull the new drive and install it in the system.
2. Jumpstart
If you are going to be building/replicating alot of systems, this is the
way to do it. Alex Noordergraff at Sun Microsystems has developed a toolkit
called JASS, it allows you to jumpstart systems that are fully secured.
I highly recommend you look in to this.
