Assuming both disks are same size, replicate partition table using prtvtoc and fmthard
Code:
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/cXdXd0s2  | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/cXtXd0s2

This will create same disk partition on second disk.
My choice would be to use ufsdump. If you plan to boot from second disk, install boot loader on second disk using installboot command.
Code:
installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk  /dev/rdsk/cXtXd0s0
