External Cache Battery
StorageWorks recommends that you replace the External Cache Battery (ECB) every
two years to prevent battery failure.
If you are shutting down your controller for longer than one day, complete the
additional steps in “Shutting Down the Subsystem” in the HSG80 Array Controller
ACS Version 8.7 Maintenance and Service Guide. This prevents the ECB from
discharging during planned power outages.
Dual External Cache Battery Failures
The array controller cache policy provides for proper handling of a single ECB failure
as described in the HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.7 Troubleshooting
Reference Guide. For dual ECB failures, it states that no failover occurs. For this
release, if a dual ECB failure is detected, both controllers are restarted.
Using FRUTIL to Insert a New Controller
When using FRUTIL to insert a new controller in a dual-redundant controller
configuration, you see a new set of instructions after the new controller was inserted:
If the other controller did not restart, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the Reset button on the other controller.
2. Remove and re-insert the program card for the other controller.
3. Release the Reset button.
NOTE: Whenever you are running FRUTIL you must quiesce all I/O.
FRUTIL Limitation
This limitation applies to users of ACS Version 8.7P with DRM only.
