hi,
I've already installed such clusters for my costumers... so yes, it is possible...
At the last costumer it was Solaris 10 (u4) on two nodes with SunCluster 3.2. We had about 10 zones, 3 local and the rest on a failover FS. with the same ideas for the local zones, if the patching or updating on one zone fails, we still are able switch to the other node...
but like DukeNuke2 said, just call your sun partner, they should have the right consultant or system-engineer to answerer your questions. that's to much to answerer on a forum, you will have to design the cluster framework, the filesystems (global, failover or local) and the zones for your special needs. in short, yes it's possible, but if it's really the right solution for you, hmmm, good question...
since i am such a consultant from a sun partner, i know that there are a lot of questions about zones in a clusters
give them a chance, consultants don't bite

zcons
zcons(7D) Devices zcons(7D) NAME
zcons - Zone console device driver DESCRIPTION
The zcons character driver exports the console for system zones. The driver is comprised of two "sides:" a master side with which applica- tions in the global zone communicate, and a slave side, which receives I/O from the master side. The slave side is available in the global zones. Applications must not depend on the location of /dev or /devices entries exported by zcons. Inside a zone, the zcons slave side is fronted by /dev/console and other console-related symbolic links, which are used by applications that expect to write to the system console. The zcons driver is Sun Private, and may change in future releases. FILES
/dev/zcons/<zonename>/masterconsole Global zone master side console for zone <zonename>. /dev/zcons/<zonename>/slaveconsole Global zone slave side console for zone <zonename>. /dev/zconsole Non-global zone console (slave side). ATTRIBUTES
