iControl v9.0 Primary Failover Method

What method would I call in i-control 9.0 to find the name and ip of the BIGIP failover device?     Thanks,     -Tom

Joe,

 

 

Via the PS snapin I can fetch the remote (thanks!) :

 

PS T:\> $ic.systemfailover.get_peer_address()

 

10.10.10.1

 

 

Is there any way to fetch the unit's own/self failover address (besides grabbing the bigDB...)?

 

 

This is not exposed via SNMP and makes it a pain for programatically discovering device pairs.

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

John
