Today we announced the release of Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1 ( download ; existing customers can just update from the package repository ).

New capabilities include:

Oracle Solaris 10 Zone Clusters: The easiest way to update and consolidate existing Solaris 10 application environments is with Oracle Solaris 10 Zones within Oracle Solaris 11 -- not only do you get higher system utilization, but you can immediately leverage new features such as network virtualization.
With Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1, you can now cluster these zones, for even higher availability.
Expanded disaster recovery operations: Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1 introduces managed switchover and disaster-recovery takeover of applications and data using ZFS Storage Appliance replication services in a multi-site, multi-cluster configuration.
Faster application recovery with improved storage failure detection and resource dependency management.
Labeled security support for providing both high availability and high security, leveraging Oracle Solaris 11 Trusted Extensions.
