APM has system-specific information in its config files.
Yes you can copy them but not unless you edit them first.  The procedure
is documented in the Admin Guide:

Copying an APM policy from one system to another


 To copy an APM policy from one system to another, follow these steps:
    1. Stop the C5d daemon using the following command:
       /usr/OV/bin/ovstop C5d
    2. Enter the following command:
       /usr/OV/bin/C5Maint -d


       The /usr/OV/conf/C5.conf file is created with all your APM policy
       definitions in it. For information about the format of the
C5.conf
       file, see The C5.conf File.
    3. Edit the C5.conf file and delete all the system-specific
       information, such as failed and distributed node lists and
invalid
       SmartSets. Change the distribution status to NeverDistributed.
That
       is, change the field_value field corresponding to the dfStatus
field
       to NeverDistributed and change the field_value_length field to
16.
    4. Load the file into the APM database on the system to which you
want
       to copy the policy using the following command:
       C5Maint -l


       For more information, refer to the C5Maint man page.


 If you receive a noSuchName message after installing the new APM policy
on  another system, it means that the particular object does not exist
in the  MIB view. The noSuchName error is an SNMP ERROR 2, which can be
caused by  a corrupted APM threshold or file monitor object (such as, a
missing  smInstanceId in the object of the APM monitor). The complete
message is:


 REASON: noSuchName-The requested object name did not match  the names
available in the relevant MIB view.


 To correct this problem, create the APM monitor definition from scratch
instead of copying the definition because you might be copying a bad
object. Then distribute the new definition.

 Hi All.
We have just migrated our Netview 7.1.4 FP3 on Solaris 2.8 to another
Solaris 2.8 but more powerfull hardware.
We used the option "Selective Backup. ALL.USER" to do it.
Although the process run smoothly, we realized that when we try to open
the "APM Configuration" program, it hangs with the hour-glass cursor
after warning that the first time might take several minutes to run.

Does anyone know what might be going wrong with the APM tool?.
Can we copy the APM conf files from one server to another?.
