Sun cluster does not provide any help in this case. The problem is located 
inside the logical domain.  
SUN cluster supports the changeover of ldom between execution hosts and works 
fine at all. But after changeover a ldom inherits the hostid of the current 
execution host. 
After binding and rebooting the automated 'zpool import' inside this ldom fails 
based on the fact that the same virtual server has a new hostid. The zpool 
which can not be imported is never out in the open and can be in use from this 
virtual server only.

In future, if ldoms can use zfs/zpool as boot disk our problem can turn nasty.
