Chris, To add to Ashu's suggestion, note that the current HA Cluster binary for OpenSolaris is Solaris Cluster Express, which runs on Solaris Express. Sun Cluster / Open HA Cluster does not currently run on the OpenSolaris binary distribution (OpenSolaris 2008.11 and friends), although there is work in progress on that front. See http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/colorado/
