Rahul, Global zone is the host machine. Obvoiusly not every global zone will be clustered. It will be too expensive. So, a way of going about it may be to club some of the existing HA demanding apps in one global zone and cluster it.

Some software may need to be compiled from source as there may be differences in released versions, may be one hindrance.
