Using the latest version of ignite, you should be able to clone across different server classes.
Have a look here:

Myself, I wouldn't, I would install fresh from CD.

You can do it, I'm linking an ignite doc that shows how to set up server, take a golden image and clone a system.

Thnis is a detailed oriented operation, which I now do regularly. It takes some persistance, but you can do it if you tweak the configuraiton correctly.

if you are already using ignite-ux, then you may use following command to create boot tape:
# make_tape_recovery -Ai

the tape may be used for booting the system and make changes to the image to meet the specific need.
