Live / DR failover, assumes shared storage, mutual SAN, or some sort of replication. Storage to oneside, zones will allow you to move the application, as would RSF / SunCluster clustering software. So, clustering would cater for your needs too.

Centralised storage might be a bigger problem, as the live and dr systems will be in different physical locations ? Different IP addresses ??

Containers / zones - containers has some sort of resource control i.e. number of cpus / memory, zones are like containers but a more fluid set of resource controls.

Im currently do the same thing as you, looking at creating a DR of my live server, using zones / RSF.

NAME

       zoneadmd - zone administration daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/zones/zoneadmd

       zoneadmd is a system daemon that is started when the system needs to manage a particular zone. Because each instance of the zoneadmd daemon
       manages a particular zone, it is not unexpected to see multiple zoneadmd daemons running.

       This daemon is started automatically by the zone management software and should not be invoked directly. The daemon  shuts  down  automati-
       cally when no longer in use. It does not constitute a programming interface, but is classified as a private interface.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWzoneu 		   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Interface Stability	     |Private			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       svcs(1), zlogin(1), svcadm(1M), zoneadm(1M), attributes(5), smf(5), zones(5)

       The zones(5) service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/system/zones:default

       Administrative  actions	on  this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M).  The ser-
       vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
