Looking for some advice. I have a very old HP/Lefthand storage node based on a DL320s G1. We had to power it off to move it and when I came back up, the cache accellerator was disabled due to a read cache error. And the Cache battery was dead. I bought replacment battery and now the battery looks OK but I was still getting a cache read error, cache accellerator disabled. I bought a refurbished 512MB cache module and replaced the one that was in it. I still get ' POST Error: 1797-Drive Array - Array Accelerator Read Error Occurred' and the Array Accelerator is disabled.
This is a p400 controller.
I'm not sure if I just purchased defective hardware, or if it is the p400 board itself or a non hardware issue. I don't want to keep blindly replacing stuff. I did see an HP Advisory from 2011 saying if this occured on a controller running old firmware, you need to disable the cache and reenable it to clear the condition. The firmware I'm running is newer and I don't even see the the cache option on the menu that was mentioned in the Advisory with this version of firmware.
I also ran the diagnosics from the SPP DVD and it shows that the p400 is reporting an unknown cache read error and that the cache accellorator is permanently disabled.
I did get a message saying the battery was not charged but that massage is no longer appearing when I boot the server. That makes me think the battery is OK.
