There is not so much "to do" - of course you can write such a high-availability system yourself. We will talk again a few years from now, probably....
What you have to do is to install such a high-availability software and form a cluster. There are several such software out there: HACMP, Veritas, Beowulf, NonStop-Cluster and probably a few dozen others. As you mentioned you run on Itanium i assume you have HP-Ux as OS, so you will probably need to install NonStop Cluster from HP.
I suggest you read up about "Failover-Clusters" and "active-passive clusters", as this is what you describe.
I hope this helps.

scconf_transp_adap_ibd(1M) System Administration Commands scconf_transp_adap_ibd(1M)
NAME
scconf_transp_adap_ibd - configure the InfiniBand (ibd) transport adapter
DESCRIPTION
Note -
Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor-
mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.
You can configure ibd adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with transport type dlpi.
The ibd adapter connects to an InfiniBand transport switch. The connection is made through a transport cable.
When the endpoints of the transport cable are configured by using scconf, scinstall, or other tools, you are asked to specify a port name
on the transport switch. You can provide any port name, or accept the default, as long as the name is unique for the switch.
The default is to set the port name to the node ID that hosts the adapter at the other end of the cable.
There are no user-configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type.
