Problem with replacing faulty HSG80

[Vladimir Fabecic]

One HSG80 controler failed (the top one). I tried to replace it using legal procedure. ( I did it four times before, and I know how to do it. )
Everithing went OK untill I had to copy configuration to other controler.
After "SET MULTIBUS_FAILOVER COPY=THIS" other controler reboots (which is normal) but still have "Controllers misconfigured".
Software version is V86-13 (I installed patches before SET MULTIBUS_FAILOVER).
Is there a problem with that version or I just got bad controller from HP?
Another interesting thing: I replaced cache bateries but this controller still complains that BATTERY LIFETIME HAS EXPIRED.
Very strange!
Here are some interesting stuff:

Did you hold down button 6 to clear the configuration of the new contoller that you inserted. Try and do a set nofailover and then clear any cache errors at the controller level and the unit level and then try set multibus failover copy=this again. Command for deleting contoller errors is
CLEAR_ERRORS THIS_CONTROLLER INVALID_CACHE
NODESTROY_UNFLUSHED_DATA

See how that goes.

Cheers

Hello Richard
I did what you said.
But there were several problems.
First I got bad spare controller and asked for new one. Second controller acted allmost like first.
Just could not make controller pair to work in MULTIBUS_FAILOVER mode.
Problem was that working controller was also bad. So at the end I replaced both controllers and it worked.
Very strange, two controllers bad, but that was the reason of problem.
Thanks for your help anyway.

Did you use FRUTIL for the replacement?

[Vladimir Fabecic]

Hello Uwe
Yes, I did use frutil to replace batteries.
If you are interesting about this case, I can send you capture files and give more details (but later).
The controller complained about batteries after doing SET MULTIBUS_FAILOVER COPY=THIS. Before this command (and while patching) controller did not complain.
I think reason was:
Last Failure Code: 01942088
(reside on the PCI Data or Address Line (PDAL) bus)
