It is best practice to save configuration to XML as per document hicks mentioned.
This is the latest oracle document regarding :
Saving Domain Configurations -
Oracle(R) VM Server for SPARC 3.4 Administration Guide

Put this in in crontab, and save your configuration on external system, best on some NFS.

SP is on a chip, which you pull out for your old motherboard and plugin in new
Remove the Service Processor - SPARC T4-1 Server HTML Document Collection.

If you have other sparc servers on which virtual machines lived and those were on FC / ISCSI you can use other server LDOM configuration to import to serviced machine.

Do not import primary configuration from another server, just LDOM if on external storage.

Is there anything in /var/opt/SUNWldm on the machine ?

Also, a good practice which i endorse (if you use putty) is to save all your putty sessions to a file automatically (with timestamps for log files)
To reconstruct what you did or find data inside those log files can be gold sometimes, since we all make mistakes.

Hope that helps

NAME

       ssh-import-id  -  retrieve one or more public keys from a public keyserver (Launchpad.net by default) and append them to the current user's
       authorized_keys file (or some other specified file)

SYNOPSIS

       ssh-import-id [options] USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n]

OPTIONS

	-h | --help	   usage
	-o | --output F    write output to file 'F' (default ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, use "-" for standard out)

DESCRIPTION

       This utility will securely contact a public keyserver (https://launchpad.net by default) and retrieve one or more user's public	keys,  and
       append these to the current user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

       The  system  administrator  can	change	the source URL used by ssh-import-id(1) by editing the configuration file, /etc/ssh/ssh_import_id,
       which is sourced to obtain the value of URL.  By default, URL="https://launchpad.net/~%s/+sshkeys".  Note that this url really  MUST  be  a
       secure,	https  url with a valid, signed certificate or else your system will be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks!  The "%s" will be
       populated by ssh-import-id(1) with the value(s) of USER_ID_1 [USER_ID_2] ... [USER_ID_n].
