IBM offers PowerHA SystemMirror, for high availability clustering.

IBM PowerHA SystemMirror

High Availability Clusters (or HA Clusters, also called fail over clusters) are servers grouped together so that if one server providing an applications fails, another server immediately restarts the application. In this way application reliability is maintained and down-time is minimized or nearly eliminated. High Availability Cluster Software (or just High Availability Software) are the automated cluster management platforms designed to achieve constant application availability without intervention by a human operator.

High Availability Cluster Software

As we are running with critical applications and databases including oracle, db2, and others. To make them highly available we are using Power HA System Mirror which is helping to run the environment with minimal downtime window in case of worst scenarios as well as in case of maintenance which is helping a lot in my business.

Resource group movement.
Application monitoring.
Problem determination.

GUI Feature can be added in every version of Power HA.
Default installation of smart assist file set can be made.
Default Parameters of application monitoring can be added.

Resource movement.
Problem determination tool.

Reliable High Available Environment.
SAN Based Monitoring in terms of devices.
Network level check in terms of HA services.

In our project, we are using IBM PowerHA SystemMirror to make our DB2 database highly available. We can't afford any downtime during production hours.

High performance during peak business hours
No downtime during critical business operations
Easy updates

It would be great if we could configure it on Linux servers
CPU core dependency
Online resource change, like Volume Group

Database monitoring configuration in cluster
Cluster FS size can be easily extended
Auto-cluster snapshot, which takes regular backup of cluster configuration

There will is no single point of failure in PowerHA SystemMirror
High performance in PowerHA SystemMirror
TL upgrades are easy without any impact

PowerHA is used across the organization for our most critical apps. It is used to reduce downtime on our critical apps in the event of a system failure.

Reduces downtime
can automatically failover the apps and start them up
Lots of customization options

Sometimes has problems with starting or stopping the applications

automatic failover
ability to DLPAR CPU and memory resources
customization

It does require two separate servers which is an extra expense
If there is a failure the downtime for the apps is limited

PowerHA is currently used by the IBM Power Infrastructure Support group for high-availability clustering and to replicate our user profiles to our DR infrastructure. Is also use for asynchronous geographic mirroring and space-efficient FlashCopy where we perform our backups.

Asynchronous geographic mirroring extends the host-based replication to our DR environment.
FlashCopy provide us with a point in time snapshot of our Production environment from which we can run our daily backups without downtime.
Since PowerHA runs at the kernel level it allows the system to send a message from the primary system to the backup or secondary system when the node has crashed.

IBM Sybase replication has been an issue for those who don't [use] MIMIX on their systems to keep the Sybase up to date.
The graphical interface really needs an update.
Technical support isn't as responsive as it should be.
