About AFX Server High Availability topic, our customer provided two dedicated machines per environment for installin AFX Server component.
Following our doubts/questions:
- by UI, under AFX - Servers menu, we have to create just one AFX Server object or one for each machines (in other words two different AFX Servers)?
- consequently, the installation package (UI > AFX > Servers > [server] > [Download Server Archive]) it's unique for all the machines or separate?
- in general, where can I find details about load-balanging and/or failover between AFX Server machines or each AFX Server id independent from the others, binding AFX Connectors included?
Thanks and regards,

As far as I know, you can't do HA for the AFX server.
You can have multiple AFX servers but each connector can be associated with 1 AFX server (and each application is associated with 1 connector).
Meaning, if the AFX server is down and you want to reconfigure the settings to your secondary AFX server (which was idle up until now), you will need to change the settings in each of the connectors to point to the new AFX server.
My 2 cents
