Anyone please help me with the procedures to set up disaster recovery in production environment.We are having SQL server 2016 and windows server 2012 and ARIS version 10.7(latest)
I am looking for a setup like , We have 2 application servers in production we need ARIS to be working in both , if one app server is having some issue the next one should come live automatically,

If I understand correctly you are asking for a "hot standby" scenario. Well, ARIS doesn't support that out of the box.
But you could start with ARIS' built-in fail-over capability. To benefit from that you install ARIS not via its setup only ONE computer, but distribute the ARIS binaries across several computers. We call that distributed installation. For a fail-over scenario the minimum would be 3 nodes as we call them, which are either bare metal or VMs.
More details about that scenario you can find in ARIS Distributed Installation Cookbook, located on the ARIS DVD in folder \Documents\English\3 Installation\31 Initial installation\312 Server\3122 Advanced (Multi node).
With 2 nodes fail-over won't work as there has to be a majority in that concept. Means, it requires an odd number of nodes (3 or 5 or 7 etc.). Only for splitting the work load an even number of nodes makes sense.
Chapter 2 High availability overview in ARIS Distributed Installation Cookbook.pdf explains that concept very well.
And frankly speaking, without that knowledge you should not decide to go for a distrubuted installation of ARIS. Therefore, Software AG offers to deliver installations by our Professional Services.
