To make a long story short, you're trying to fit square pegs into round holes:

you're trying to use the Live Upgrade technology to, in end effect, clone and 
move systems around. And that is not what the Live Upgrade technology is for.

I already wrote that to do what you want, the way you want it, you need to 
start creating (compressed) .flar Flash(TM) archives, which will give you a 
near-complete clone of a given system. I write "near complete", because some 
parts of network configuration, and the host name will be automatically 
stripped, on purpose. The rest is an image of the system as it was, including 
the data and configuration on it (minus what one explicitly specified to 
exclude, with "-x").

You can't just move disk and slices around - Solaris's /devices tree is 
specifically built for the hardware it runs on, including the drivers. To move 
disks/slices from one system to another, you'd have to have hardware that's 
identical.  You also can't muck with the files (like copying 
/var/sadm/install/contents from one system to another) - the target system will 
be damaged, its referential integrity gone.
