Well, I figured out the imaging part. The dd command does work, it just takes such a long time I didn't think it was working. I let it run overnight and it finished. Must have taken several hours though. So it looks like using dd for imaging hard drives is possible, just not very practicle.
Having tried a emulating a raid setup with IDE yet. I'll get to that as soon as I have the time and resources. If anyone else has tried it let me know!

Can anyone recommend an imaging solution for RedHat Linux that would allow base imaging with the ability to do incremental updates and encryption? I know Acronis has a version available, but it is rather pricey.

Yes, it's me again. Running around getting this done! My current problem is I'm trying to image one drive 0 (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) to drive 1 (/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0).

cvcd(1M) System Administration Commands cvcd(1M)
NAME
cvcd - virtual console daemon
SYNOPSIS
/platform/platform_name/cvcd
DESCRIPTION
The virtual console daemon, cvcd, is a server process that supports the network console provided on some platforms. The cvcd daemon accepts
network console connections from a remote host (only one host at any given time). Console input is read from this connection and forwarded
to cvc(7D) by way of cvcredir(7D).
Similarly, console output is read from cvcredir(7D) and forwarded across the network console connection. If cvcd dies, console traffic is
automatically rerouted through an internal hardware interface.
The cvcd daemon normally starts at system boot time. Each domain supports only one cvcd process at a time.
Caution: On Sun Enterprise 10000 domains, cvcd uses a configuration file (/etc/ssphostname) to determine the name of the host from
which network console connections are allowed. If the remote console host is renamed, you must edit the configuration file
to reflect that change.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
platform_name The official Sun platform name used in packaging and code. For example, for Sun Fire 15K servers, the platform_name
would be SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000.

NOTES
The cvcd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:
svc:/system/cvc
Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
