In a 11.1 installation here where the management server's not running (in config.dat ingstart.*.mgmtsvr is set to 0), ingstatus includes a line "Ingres II Management server (mgmtsvr)      - not active".
I don't know why it's not showing you anything, ingstatus is a shell script so it may be possible to step through it to work out what's happening. Maybe there are version-dependent differences.

If mgmtsvr isn't running there won't be anything listening on the port Director tries to connect to. I would guess that doesn't stop clients from firing it up, it just won't find a target.
