smart array controller

We are intermittently receiving the following messages from Insight Manager:

'Array Accelerator Status Change' alarm received from SERVERNAME at 14:48 on 28/03/01

An 'Array Accelerator Status Change' trap signifies that the status of a Compaq Array Accelerator Cache has changed.

Array Accelerator Status : Temporarily Disabled
Controller Slot Number : 5

Followed by:

An 'Array Accelerator Status Change' trap signifies that the status of a Compaq Array Accelerator Cache has changed.

Array Accelerator Status : Enabled

The controller is a SMART II DH with 5x 9.1GB hot plug hard drives. This is happening about once every two days, is it anything to worry about?

Thanks

My guess is that you have a faulty cache or cache battery on the controller. If you are not worried about performance too much you can always disable the cache altogether in the Array configuration utility.
