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.

SYNOPSIS

       sun

       iAPX286

       i386

       pdp11

       sparc

       u3b

       u3b5

       u3b15

       vax

       u370

DESCRIPTION

       The following commands will return a true value (exit code of 0) if you are using an instruction set that the command name indicates.

       sun	  True if you are on a Sun system.

       iAPX286	  True if you are on a computer using an iAPX286 processor.

       i386	  True if you are on a computer using an iAPX386 processor.

       pdp11	   True if you are on a PDP-11/45tm or PDP-11/70tm.

       sparc	  True if you are on a computer using a SPARC-family processor.

       u3b	  True if you are on a 3B20 computer.

       u3b2	  True if you are on a 3B2 computer.

       u3b5	  True if you are on a 3B5 computer.

       u3b15	  True if you are on a 3B15 computer.

       vax	  True if you are on a VAX-11/750tm or VAX-11/780tm.

       u370	  True if you are on an IBM(R) System/370tm computer.

       The  commands  that  do	not  apply will return a false (non-zero) value. These commands are often used within makefiles (see make(1S)) and
       shell scripts (see sh(1)) to increase portability.
