Get Active/Standby Device in iRule

Sorry, I am not giving you a straightforward answer but have you tried looking into watch command, script run or iCall

Maybe if you can explain why you need to find the device status, someone might be able to provide an alternate solution to using iRule.

A few points on this:

1. iRules run within TMM as a traffic event process and have no direct access to the underlying F5 system, only get the data provided from pre-defined commands and events.

2. If you assign a Virtual Server to the

   local-only

   traffic group it will always, as long as TMM is running, be seen as active as each traffic group holds its own HA state. Also if the

   traffic-group

   was not in an

   active

   state it wouldn't process traffic and so you iRule would never be executed.

Like Vijay said maybe give a little more info on what you are trying to accomplish and see if someone on here can help.
