OTMS 2.3.1 with VMware HA

Hi guys
I will need to install OTMS 2.3.1 on ESXi 6.0 running on Dell Proliant DL360 G9. It seems that HP have a customised ESXi version to install on this model of server - that I can do however I am a bit stumped with the whole VMware HA scenario.
First I am not sure whether the OTMS machines will be replicated or will they be 2 different machines? If the OTMS machines are replicated, I assume that this will be done by VMware vSphere Replication. All of this HA setup will be controlled (I imagine) by VMware vCentre.

Has anyone built this and maybe share some info about this please?

Thanks

I do not know, how the VMware HA in the ESX Cluster will be configured...
But...
From the OTMS Point of view is all like a ‚normal‘ Installation. The only thing is about Flexlm Server. If you don‘t use the Raspi-Dongle Server, the Flexlm Server must be moved only between the two physical ESX Servers with a dongle connected.

regards...
