DVIPA activate/deactivate isn't seamless. First, it would require the 
application be running on the second LPAR running in standby mode. Second, 
current connections are interrupted unless the application has been designed to 
circumvent the problem. Third, you still have a time frame where the 
application is still unreachable albeit very small hopefully.

Each situation is different and a decision about which method best solves the 
problem must be made. The OP said his application can only be active on one 
LPAR. In that case, using activate/deactivate would not provide an advantage 
although it would work equally as well..
