Check the compatibility guide, you can't have active/active.

Hello Yassora,
No offense, but you should work with someone that really understands how it needs to be configured. We (the forum-members) can offer high level support, and help where we can, but we will not prepare your installation, setup and configuration.
There are many specialists available on the market, and also the several PDF's guide you in how to set it up. Example, Installing and configuring guide Section 5 or 6 (both for clustering)
If you say high available, do you mean in 1 DC? Then you need to run EV on a cluster server. If you mean 'quick fail-over', you need to use Building Block configuration.
I use building block, which (very highlevel) is as follows:
1 production EV server with storage for Indexes and Vault Stores
1 production SQL server for the EV databases
1 DR EV server with same storage for indexes and stores. Data from PROD needs to be replicated to this server on a daily bases (using Robocopy scritps as example), or you use SAN (have san-replication), or you use Quadrotech EV-NEarSync (3rd party tool, really cool).
1 DR SQL server, same storage. Use Transactionlogshipping from SQL, or DB mirroring, or SAN storage.
When Prod goes down, fail-over SQL, use Update Service Location to switch EV functionality to the DR server.
I have personally never installed EV on cluster, but others have, and that seems to be working fine.
Good luck.
