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

I previously sent this to our monitoring devs:

 

 

PS T:\> $ic.managementdbvariable.query("StateMirror.Ipaddr") | fl

 

name : StateMirror.Ipaddr

 

value : 10.10.10.2

 

PS T:\> $ic.managementdbvariable.query("StateMirror.PeerIpaddr") | fl

 

name : StateMirror.PeerIpaddr

 

value : 10.10.10.1

 

 

This is what works in 9.0.x/9.1.x/9.4.0 -- I found that 9.4.0 code introduced a new DB key pair “failover.ipaddr” and “failover.peeripaddr” which return Null on my test box. I need to test on 9.4.1 and 9.4.2 as I believe F5 intends to allow StateMirror and Failover to use different IPs for communication, in which case the new DB keys would replace the 9.0.x/9.1.x/9.4.0 statemirror.(peer)ipaddr keys. Something to keep in mind for the get_peer_address() method.

 

 

Thanks!
