Hi,

you can figure out  by doing this,
In Cognos Configuration you will find Content Manager URI. Take those URL's and place it in Browser. You will get to know which is active or standby.

Hi,

Yes as @krishnadwbi says with the links you get from Cognos Configuration you can get the state of each Content Manager.
You should see a screen similar to this one:

IBM Cognos

Content Manager

Build: 10.xx.xxx.xxx
Start time: Time of Cognos CM service start time
Current time: Your current time
State: State of CM


Please also refer to the following IBM Technote...
