Yes indeed, you are correct.
But, again there are few things you have to consider before creating SEA, you mentioned that these are Blade Servers, so how are you viewing them, through HMC or IVM? How many VIOS you have on each Blade?
If you have only one VIO on each blade, then SEA holds no good, coz it won't failover. If you have two VIOS, then only you are good to go for SEA.
Now, considering you have two VIOS, we have to figure out which virtual adapter (out of the 4) is your primary adapter and which is control channel adapter. You can check the profile (of virtual adapter) if a adapter has been check as access external network, and given a trunking priority then it is your primary adapter, for control channel adapter you WONT select access external network, and most shops give it a vlan no of 99 (purely environment based, so such standard), so as to distinguish control channel adapter from others.
You cannot use smitty (in rksh), you have to use mkdev command to create SEA.
$ mkvdev -sea "real adapt" -vadapter "primary virt adapt" -default "primary virt adapt" -defaultid "PVID" -attr ha_mode=auto ctrl_chan="control channel adapt"
Hope this helps.

NAME
libroar - RoarAudio sound library
roarvio - RoarAudio virtual IO layer
SYNOPSIS
#include <roaraudio.h>
struct roar_vio_calls;
DESCRIPTION
The RoarAudio VIO interface is RoarAudio's IO abstraction layer. It provides basic IO functions such as read and write independing on the
underlaying IO. For Example can you open a plain or a gziped file via the VIO layer. After a successful open both objects behave the same,
libroar takes care about the compression in the gzip case.
TUTORIALS
Tutorials can be found in roartutvio(7).
IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS
There are several important functions. This is a small list of the most important ones.
Opening
roar_vio_open_file(3), roar_vio_open_fh(3), roar_vio_open_stdio(3), roar_vio_open_dstr(3), roar_vio_open_proto(3).
While there are a lot functions important for opening files the most important one is roar_vio_open_dstr(3). It opens a stream based
on URLs that can point to local files or files on remote machines. It also can handle compression and encryption.
Closing
roar_vio_close(3), roar_vio_shutdown(3)
Reading and writing
roar_vio_read(3), roar_vio_write(3)
Seeking and positioning
roar_vio_lseek(3)
