If you have dabbled with python and iControl over the years, you might be familiar with some of my other “Getting Stared with …” articles on python libraries. I started my last, on Bigsuds, this way:...

Jason,

 

I just looked at the changes for obtaining the HA failover status of a node.

 

Here's what I was able to come up with:

 

mgmt = ManagementRoot(host, username, password)

 

xx = mgmt.tm.cm.failover_status.load()

 

print(xx.attrs['entries']['']['nestedStats']['entries']['status']['description'])

 

'ACTIVE'

 

Is there an easier way to get this information?

 

Thanks,

 

Joel
