Creating SmartOS zones using UCARP

In the Zone

Conclusion

That's it. Please note that by using UCARP as is, the VIP will not be bound to any service running on the zone, meaning that UCARP is not aware of whether the service that you want to be highly available (e.g., Apache) is up and running. You have to work on some manual solution to achieve that.

This approach has nothing to do with a system like Pacemaker, for example. However, by using UCARP, you can achieve the goal of having two or more highly available SmartOS zones.
