Hi ARehman

Do you have model description of Array accelerator installed in server? Else there is no issue, since array configuration is stored on disks as well. After replacing the batteries it can be restored back to array.

If it is a Smartarray 6400, there is a firmware update which fixes a problem where the "battery failed" message shows up in error. I think the firmware version is 2.34, can be applied as an online update but IIRC you have to reboot the server after applying.

Ahrehman, this is a know issue witch can be solved doing an firmware update.

Do an online Rompaq Upgrade on te storage controller:

This will fix the issue where the battery status may be falsely reported as â failedâ even though the cache module is â enabled.â
