anyone knows how approximate cost of 2 node HACMP cluster setup (reasonable price)?
I have found some info on the link below but for me it sounds too expensive...

PowerHA (it hasn't been marketed as HACMP for some years) is priced per core so there's no such thing as a "reasonable price" - there's just the price you need to pay to support the configuration that needs high availability.

Hello, I was meaning not PowerHA price (which I have purchased already).
What I wanted to know how much planning, installation and configuration of the two node cluster (a few subnets and services) would cost if I would like to order such instalaltion in an IT certified specialists. The cheapest the better so IBM is not an option here.

If you want an HA cluster and are going to (try and) manage it your self then your training is the big/risk cost you have to consider...

There is no point in buying your self a big tiger and a big cage if you cannot feed it and clean out the cage, unless you can also afford a keeper...
