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.
