I have a question about the "show fail" output below. Note that the secondary pix on which it was run shows "Active time" 4475970 seconds - about 52 days. But it shows the primary pix as "Active time 91301925 seconds - about 1056 days. How can there be this discrepancy in timeframes if they were originally deployed as a pair? Thanks.

To know the up-time (since last reboot) for a pix you must do a show version command on both units. The show failover command will display the time pix was running as the active unit. This counter only increase on the active unit.

I agree, the "active time" is how long each has been the active one of the pair. So total uptime would be about 52 days + 1056 days = 1108 days.
A "show version" should confirm that.
