Cloning a system via mksysb ...

This past weekend, I cloned one system (a 7017-S80) to another (a 9133-55A), by making a mksysb DVD of the S80, and restoring it to the 55A.
The process worked wonderfully, and we've now retired our long- serving but aged S80, but there were a couple of things that I didn't expect:
* I lost all of the en0 settings. I guess that makes sense, though; wouldn't want the new system to come up with the same IP addresses as the old system.
* aio0 came up as "defined", and not "available"; this caused me a major freak-out, as oracle refused to load. Five minutes of panicked googling found me the answer, so it wasn't too bad.
I guess my question is, might there be something else that I missed? The SAN disks have been re-zoned to this new system, the volume groups imported and mounted, and everything appears to be running better and faster then it ever had. Just a bit nervous that something I didn't catch might bite me in the near future.
