Discovery of failover peer using iControl

I think, this can be easily achieved

 

 

use the iControl API

 

 

Step 1: Connect to a box using iControl

 

Step 2: get_failover_state , It will respond 1 for Active and 0 for the Standby

 

Step 3: get_peer_address, It will give you the IP address for Peer

 

Step 4: Connect to the IP address that ou just got , using iControl

 

Step 5: get_failover_state, you will get the response

 

 

If the response got from step 2 and step 5 are "1" then it is Active Active config, if not, its active standby.

 

 

You could chose to add the "is_redundant" before the script gets into all the computation. I think this is logically consistant.
