Without knowing anything about your current setup it's hard to say, but our HA document can be found here:

That being said, HA setups are not something that are covered by our standard support. I would suggest getting in contact with Linbit, or another organization that does HA professionally.

Thanks for your response one more query i have if we don't want to take any extended support,will it be possible to create something like disaster recovery or development environment.
Because currently we have only production environment only and it makes it difficult to test the things for us.

Also let me know if you want to know any configuration or details regarding the server,currently my DB and application are located on the single server itself.

There are ways to make a cheap and simple sort of HA system if that would work. You'd create backups of your XI config and restore them frequently on the failover system. All of this is scripted.
A failover is manual in that you halt the primary (or disable the backup/restore) and enable monitoring on the failover host.
I have 4 NXI server pairs running this currently with several more on the way.

There was an excellent talk given at our 2014 conference on various HA and failover implementations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW5Qkl8brcA

I would strongly advise giving this a watch.

Otherwise, as @gormank mentioned you can do a backup and restore as a manual or automated recovery method:
