Once the  connection is  made by the EMS Administration Tool "tibemsadmin", the status of the EMS server (active or standby) can be checked as follows.

1). As soon as you connect to the EMS server you will see the following console trace
Connected to: tcp://localhost:7222

&

"info" command will show the status.

tcp://localhost:7222> info
Server:                   EMS-SERVER (version: 6.0.1 V4)
Process Id:               9132
==> State:                    active
Backup Server:            EMS-SERVER@pbramank-T510


2). In the newer EMS releases, versions 5.x amd onwards, if the "tibemsadmin" connects to a standby server then the tibjmsadmin now reports that it has connected to a Fault Tolerant ( FT) standby server.

As soon as you connect to the server you will see the following console trace:
"Connected to fault-tolerant standby server: tcp://localhost:7224."


tcp://localhost:7224> info
Connected to fault-tolerant standby server: tcp://localhost:7224.

Server:                   EMS-SERVER (version: 6.0.1 V4)
Process Id:               11132
==> State:                    fault tolerant standby



You can find out if the EMS server is active or standby by issuing the "show server"/"info" command from the tibemsadmin tool. The "status" output will be "active" or "fault tolerance standby".
