Hi,
Are you referring to cookie insert persistence? If so, the only place persistence data is stored is in the persistence cookie sent to the client in responses. If you have the timeout set to 0 (session cookie), the BIG-IP will set the cookie on the first response to a request which doesn't contain a persistence cookie. If the timeout is set to something other than 0 (persistence cookie), the BIG-IP will set the persistence cookie on every response to the client.
Deb added a Codeshare example which logs the persistence cookie values. That could be one way to determine what is failing with the iRule.
Persistence Cookie Logger

If you would like more detailed suggestions, can you post the iRule you're testing along with details on the persistence profile(s) you have enabled on the VIP?
Thanks,
Aaron
