| Description | Controller battery needs reconditioning. |
| More Information | This information from some newsgroups may help you: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When you view an event in the Array Manager event log, the event identifies the specific components such as the controller name or the virtual disk name to which the event applies. In an actual operating environment, a storage system can have many combinations of controllers and disks as well as user-defined names for virtual disks and other components. Because each environment is unique in its storage configuration and user-defined names, an accurate event message requires that Array Manager be able to insert the environment-specific names of storage components into an event message.The RAID controllers battery preserves the contents of its nonvolatile cache memory (NVRAM) in the event of power loss. Power loss can occur due to sudden interruption of power to the server or whenever the server is powered down for maintenance and upgrade tasks. The duration of protection, or holdover time, depends on the batterys charge level. For more information on the battery subsystem, see the installation guide for your controller. The battery is fully discharged when you initially install the controller. The controller detects this condition and automatically begins a full charge cycle. This charge cycle takes approximately three hours. You can use the controller during this time; however, the battery is unable to meet the specified holdover time until the battery is fully charged. The battery is still able to handle brief power losses during the initial charge cycle. After the initial charge cycle, the battery is kept fully charged by applying a trickle charge to the battery during normal operation. CAUSE: The controller battery charge is low. ACTION: Recondition the controller battery. |
