Splunk Standalone High availability setup required servers.

Hi team,

Currently we are implemented the Standalone below servers,

Zone-1

Environment	Server Name	IP	Splunk Role
DEV	L4			Search Head+ Indexer
QA	L4			Search Head + Indexer
L4			Deployment Server

Zone-2
Environment	Server Name	IP	Splunk Role
DEV	L4			Search Head + Indexer
QA	L4			Search Head + Indexer

In our environment, only 2 Indexer + Search head server is there on the same instance

How to Implement the High Availability Servers?

please help me the process.

Honestly - I have no idea what those tables are supposed to represent.

I understand that there are two separate "zones" and you have some servers in them. How many servers and what roles do they have? Is there any connectivity between those zones or are they completely air-gapped? If so then how do you handle licensing?

What do you mean by "implement high availability"? On which layer? Architecting an environment from scratch is usually a relatively big and important task so while this forum is a good place for asking general architecture-related questions it's not a replacement for the work of properly trained Splunk Pre-sales team or Splunk Partner engineers.

Hi @vijreddy30 ,

see in the Splunk Validated Architectures document (https://www.splunk.com/en_us/pdfs/tech-brief/splunk-validated-architectures.pdf) what Splunk means for HA and how to implement it.

For your requirements, it's really difficoult to answer to your question!

Maybe there are some replication mechanisms, based on VM-Ware, to do this, but I'm not an expert on VM-Ware and this isn't the location for this question.

Ciao.
