Replacing a Mother Board in a NETAPP cluster-mode controller

Recently i have replaced a mother board in a cluster mode system for one of my customer and after replacing i have booted the controller and observed it booted in to 7-Mode then immediately realized that i need to change the BOOTARG setting

bootarg.init.boot_clustered true 

Cluster mode needs a specific programmable ROM (PROM) environment variable setting to be set as above. Once after i have changed the settings my controller booted in to cluster mode :)
