Pre Steps:
1. Mount Points Verification on Source and Target

2. OS Release Verification Source and Target
3. Host entries in host file
4. Ping status for host and IP
5. Downloading Medial from SAP SMP
6. Port open and firewall management in Target Server
7. Additional Mount point for SAP Media and Backup [NFS/LOCAL]
8. SWAP and RAM Verification
9. JUMP Server for Installation
10. Use most current database backup
Methods for homogeneous system copy
Backup and restore method (DOES NOT REQUIRE PRD DOWNTIME)
By using SAPinst import/export method (REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DOWNTIME)
Note:- In our case I am going to follow backup and restore method since no downtime required,
henceforth this guide is prepared for a Homogeneous System Copy using Online/Offline Database
Backup

OS Release of Target same as Source.

Host Entries in host file
