Failover time difference between active and standby

XXXX0001111(cfg-sync In Sync)(/S1-green-P:Active)(/Common)(tmos) show sys failover Failover active for 0d 05:36:15

 

XXXX00022222(cfg-sync In Sync)(/S1-green-P:Standby)(/Common)(tmos) show sys failover Failover standby for 0d 03:01:25

 

What does this indicate? Shouldn't it be same since (1111 and 22222 are in sync and form a pair) ?

    This is showing the Redundant system failover state for the local F5 device.

    It is per device so on XXXX0001111 it tells you it is in an Active state. While on XXXX00022222 it tells you it is in a Standby state.

    The 0d 05:36:15 is how long it has been in this stat for. So when you ran the command 

    show sys failover
    on XXXX0001111 it had been in an Active state for 0 days 5 hour, 36 mins and 15 seconds.
