The proper procedure for this is to type (as root):
smit startup
which will give you a smit menu with a backup option. This options allows
backing up of the relevant information for cloning the current system

Do NOT copy ODM databases across machines. Because the ODM uses physical
ID values of disks for some things, there may be problems if you attempt to
use one machine's ODM databases (/etc/objrepos/Cu*) on a different machine.
