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.

sc_zonesd(1M) System Administration Commands sc_zonesd(1M)
NAME
sc_zonesd - Sun Cluster zone administration daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/cluster/lib/sc/sc_zonesd
DESCRIPTION
The sc_zonesd daemon is a system daemon that is used by Sun Cluster software to track and manage non-global zones. This daemon initially
starts when the system comes up.
The daemon runs in the global zone only.
DIAGNOSTICS
All diagnostic messages are logged through the syslog function.
NOTES
The sc_zonesd daemon must be started in superuser mode.
The sc_zonesd daemon is controlled by the SMF service sc_zones. The cluster software requires this daemon to run for non-global zone sup-
port. If the daemon is killed or if the SMF service is disabled, the cluster node will panic.
