Talking generically
As with any *nix or windows OS, copying systems files from 1 system to another, even with identical hardware leads to many complications

*Virtual memory needs to be recreated
*Hostname\IP re-created
*Many /etc files to be updated
*SID (as used in AIX & Windows) would have to be changed -> re-install


Apologies if i could't help with your problem specifically, but highlighiting the headaches, post-op
