Clustering Solaris Zones/Containers

Hello everyone. I'm working on a fairly large project at my company and have been looking for some guidance. I just happened to stumble on this forum when looking for help with Solaris, so I'm hoping that you all won't mind me bothering you with my questions. Smilie

Anyway, here goes. Is it possible to cluster an application within Solaris 10 Zones/Containers so that we could fail an application and all of its filesystems from one container to another? We are currently using VCS (though would consider other clustering technologies) and their recommendation is to have 2 separate, but identical zones configured on the hosts. This allows you to patch the offline one while the other one runs production. But, I can't seem to find a way to migrate the app from one zone to another for failover. Is this possible or in this scenario is it necessary to also maintain 2 distinct copies of your app, configuration and log files?

NAME
zprint - show information about kernel zones SYNOPSIS
zprint [-w] [-s] [-c] [-h] [name] DESCRIPTION
zprint(1) displays data about Mach zones. By default, zprint will print out information about all Mach zones. If the optional name is specified, zprint will print information about each zone for which name is a substring of the zone's name. zprint interprets the following options: -w For each zone, zprint calculates how much space is allocated but not currently in use, the space wasted by the zone. -s zprint sorts the zones, showing the wasting the most memory first. -c (Default) zprint prints zone info in columns. Long zone names are truncated with '$', and spaces are replaced with '.', to allow for sorting by column. Pageable and collectible zones are shown with 'P' and 'C' on the far right. Zones with preposterously large maximum sizes are shown with '----' in the max size and max num elts fields. -h (Default) Shows headings for the columns printed with the -c option. It may be useful to override this option when sorting by col- umn. Any option (including default options) can be overridden by specifying the option in upper-case; for example, -C overrides the (default) option -c. SEE ALSO
