Who is doing High Availability and how?

There are a number of ways it can be done. It really depends on your platform, budget, what the organization considers critical and acceptable in terms of outage.

I have done it on the cheap for AIX, expensive on AIX, endless budget on Wintel, and in various states of financial pain on Solaris.
I've built RAC clusters, argued pros and cons of node count with Oracle engineers on RAC (I won more than I lost on those, thankfully).

So I can personally attest there are many many MANY ways to accomplish this.

I think a helpful bit of info for the list would be what platform you're on, the goals you'd like to accomplish with HA, which components must be HA and which ones aren't as critical, etc.

This would allow the best people on this list to respond with the most useful info to your situation.

Have the same question. We are currently looking at HA or DR options for our Lawson environment. Currently we are running on a IBM Power 7 AIX with DB2. We are at 9.0.1.11 Core and 9.0.1.9 Apps. We are in the planning stages of ordering a new Power 8 box for the move to 10.0.4.0 or the current version when we get set to go. One concern is whether Lawson requires licensing for both boxes. And pricing seems to hinge on just how quickly you want the system back and available.

Jon,
You have a lot of options as you are using IBM as your platform vendor. You are right, it depends on money and your goals.
To address your Infor product question, some parts are de facto site and/or seat licensed (such as the LSF core, and the apps) and some are server licensed (such as the COBOL compiler). On the Infor side, from a DR licensing perspective, you are *typically* going to be ok, but a complete review of products should always be completed. Where you get hit is in the RDBMS side of things, especially is you're using Oracle and/or SQL Server.

Configuration is key. The standard Infor installations, and ones performed my most partners is insufficient to address DR requirements in nearly all cases.

Also, you have factors such as your Windows components, like Ming.le and SharePoint, LBI, etc.

I'm a consultant who has an extensive skill set in this area, and could discuss some specifics, such as budget, regional concerns. If you're interested, give me a call, or send me your number. I'd be glad to help you brainstorm on your specific issues.
