Make an iSCSI LUN clone bootable

trying to do this for a DR situation. I've cloned an iSCSI LUN to another server. I've created an LDOM on it. set the LDOM to auto-boot=false and exported the LUN as a raw disk to the new LDOM. After starting the LDOM and telnetting to it. I can get to the OK prompt and see the disk but when I try to boot into single user mode I get the following output.

Code:

{0} ok boot disk0
NOTICE: Entering OpenBoot.
NOTICE: Fetching Guest MD from HV.
NOTICE: Starting additional cpus.
NOTICE: Initializing LDC services.
NOTICE: Probing PCI devices.
NOTICE: Finished PCI probing.

NAME

       iscsi - iSCSI software initiator driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  iscsi driver is a software initiator that transports SCSI commands over TCP/IP as described in RFC 3720. The initiator is administered
       through iscsiadm(1M). The iscsi initiator acts as a host adapter driver that attaches the appropriate target driver (for example sd(7D) for
       disks or st(7D) for tapes) for devices it discovers. See the System Administration Guide for more information.
