We are looking to do high availbility for our HP9000 running 10.20. I know about MC ServiceGuard. Are there any other products for this?
 
I believe there is a product from Veritas that can help. I've just started researching for the same topic, and the name came up. Sorrry I cannot help further.
 
The Veritas product is called &quot;First Watch&quot;.<br>
It would be difficult to recommend a product without knowing what your expectations are.<br>
I would look seriously at the HP product first, due to the simple issue of multiple vendor support for what is, always, a complex setup (high availability).
 
When you say &quot;High Availability&quot; in what manner do you mean? Server Availability or Data Availability. I have seen both MC Service Guard and First Watch in Action, for Server HA I prefer MC Service Guard but for Data (disk/filesystem) fail-over type HA First Watch is pretty smart and handy. Support across the products very much depends on your level purchased but I have generally found that Veritas is pretty responsive and quite on the ball when it comes to some hairy &quot;in the dark&quot; problems although the everyday run of the mill question time type issues can wait a long time in the queue.
 
I run an MC Service Guard Cluster and have experience no problems with it. We have had several occasion when we have lost a system.
