Another reason to use VxVM volumes and snapshots - the vxbootadm tool which will customize the target LDOM being deployed transparently and allow you to boot from it instantly without needing to manually modify the system-specific parameters like hostname, IP address etc. The tool does everything from end-to-end, takes the snapshot, customizes the target image in just a matter of few seconds. Let me know if you need more information on this tool.
