MVPhostname / ip of bigip in irule
might be an easy one or just not possible.
it there a way to read the hostname from the bigip box (or ip, i.e. management) from within an iRule?

https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.tcl_platform.ashx - boneyardthank you nitass, so a v11 addition, bad luck we are using v10 at the moment.
no other way known?
hardcoding is not an option, the irule would live on different boxes and i don't like creating one per box. - nitassi do not see any other command. not sure if other guys have any idea.
by the way, is it possible to use virtual server name instead?
