You can use ufsdump/ufsrestore.

If both drives have the same geometry then you can use the dd command.

dd if=/dev/rdsk/cXtXd0s2 of=/dev/rdsk/cXtXd0s2 bs=256k

cX= controller # (run format to see this info)
tX= scsi Id ( run format to see this info)
The if is the source disk and the of is the output disk.

You can set up a crontab to run this at a good time.
The disk will be bootable after the dd. You can switch the disk target's id or boot from the second disk. Don't use the normal boot command.

Go to

and search for dd a sun system disk.
