NimbostratusDetermining Failover State with Perl & iControl
Hi All -
I'm new to iControl, but old to perl. I'm attempting to determine the active/passive state of my F5 BigIPs using the SDK and perl. I think I'm on the right track, but I'm not gett...
You left a bit of the old code in the response parsing. The get_failover_state() method returns an enum containing the current failover state. This should work for you:
sub getSystemState()
{
print "==========================================================\n";
print "System State\n";
print "------------------\n";
$soapResponse = $soap->get_failover_state();
if ( $soapResponse->fault )
{
print $soapResponse->faultcode, " ", $soapResponse->faultstring, "\n";
}
else
{
$FailoverState = $soapResponse->result;
print "State: $FailoverState\n";
}
}
