Which version of BIG-IP software are you running? Since you posted to the v4 to v9 migration forum, I'm assuming you are running v9.

 

 

This post addresses how to determine a peers address for v9.x.

As for determining what the current state of the device is, for 9.x use the System::Failover::get_failover_state() method. It will return either FAILOVER_STATE_ACTIVE or FAILOVER_STATE_STANDBY.
