MySQL Building New server using ufsdump/ufsrestore

Hi Guys,
Marry X-MAX in advance Smilie
I would like to build a new server using ufsdump/ufsrestore. Both the servers are identical hardware and model. I am using Solaris 10 X86 O/S.
I am having ufsdump "mydump.rootdump.gz" in a Central NFS server.

What I did:-
I took backup of root filesystem (/) of OLD-SERVER using ufssnap/ufsdump.
That backup "mydump.rootdump.gz" put on central NFS server. 10.x.x.n.

Install Solaris 10 on NEW-SERVER. Made identical partions during installation.
After then mounted OLD_SERVER:/mydump.rootdump.gz on /mnt.
NEW-SERVER#mount OLD_SERVER:/mydump.rootdump.gz /mnt
NEW-SERVER@/mnt#cd /
NEW-SERVER@/# gzcat /mnt/mydump.rootdump.gz | ufsrestore rvf -

After running above command I was getting messages like "File already exist"
And then ended with below given messages.
.......
.............

extract file ./usr/lib/fs/udfs/fsck
extract file ./usr/lib/fs/udfs/fstyp
extract file ./usr/lib/fs/udfs/mount
extract file ./usr/lib/fs/xmemfs/mount
extract file ./usr/lib/fs/ufs/fsirand
extract file ./usr/lib/fs/ufs/fsckall
extract file ./usr/lib/fs/ufs/labelit
extract file ./usr/lib/fs/ufs/ufsrestore
Bus Error (core dumped)
NEW-SERVER@/#

When I rebooted my newserver it .. I got boot prompt but after displaying hostname I was getting messages "The System will sync files,save a crash dump if neede ....... panic [cpu7]/thread=fffffffe80009c8000: Unrecoverable Machine-Check ...

Then it started syncing the files...... and again rebooted .....

Could you guys Please help me out from this situation...
My main aim is rebuild an indentical server.
It will great help, If you will give me a step by step procedure for the same.
OS: Solaris 10 X86
Both the server are remote, I can't use Tape drive.. I having root filesystem dump (/) on Central NFS server.

I am waiting your response as soon as possible .....

Thanks in advance ....

Sanjay
