Cloning OS using alt_disk_install to new LPARs

Hi Folks,

I am working on a task - Cloning the OS from fullSystem partition to 3 new LPAR's using alt_disk_install.

I just wanted to clarify my steps here.

1. alt_disk_install -CBO hdisk1 and rename it to alt1
2. alt_disk_install -CBO hdisk2 and rename it to alt2
3. alt_disk_install -CBO hdisk3 and rename it to alt3

the 3 profiles/partitions are already created.

4. boot the first new partition into SMS mode and select hdisk1 as boot disk , exit and and boot into normal mode. And same for rest 2.

Am I missing any steps here? I am not sure on do I have to export and or remove the disks first?
All these partitions are on same power 7.

Please let me know. Thanks

NAME
clone_member - Clone a Mailman mailing list subscriber address SYNOPSIS
clone_member [options] fromoldaddr tonewaddr DESCRIPTION
Cloning a member address means that a new member will be added who has all the same options and passwords as the original member address. Note that this operation is fairly trusting of the user who runs it -- it does no verification to the new address, it does not send out a welcome message, etc. The existing member's subscription is usually not modified in any way. If you want to remove the old address, use the -r flag. If you also want to change any list admin addresses, use the -a flag. OPTIONS
-l listname, --listname=listname Check and modify only the named mailing lists. If -l is not given, then all mailing lists are scanned from the address. Multiple -l options can be supplied. -r, --remove Remove the old address from the mailing list after it's been cloned. -a, --admin Scan the list admin addresses for the old address, and clone or change them too. -q, --quiet Do the modifications quietly. -n, --nomodify Print what would be done, but don't actually do it. Inhibits the 0 fromoldaddr (`from old address') is the old address of the user. tonewaddr (`to new address') is the new address of the user. AUTHOR
