I take it that this was from the VA event logs, logprn? The event logs track every odd (or normal) internal event within the array. They are for a record if something serious happens. Unless you have a lot of entries over a short period and you have not changed anything (add, remove, create, or delete disk or LUNs)then you may have a problem you'll need hp service to look at. The exception is if the array is in a warning state, with a specific error indicated.

Do you have many of these?

This event indicates the uprocessor responsible for monitoring the battery was reset. No big deal if there are just a few of these, else call HP.

Roger, is right. Anyway please make sure that your VA has latest firmware (HP17 for now) and VA's batteries processor has latest firmware (4.3)
