reenable alert handler in icinga for ms-be1019 / HP RAID once this is resolved

There's a warning for HP RAID on ms-be1021, WARNING: Slot 3: Recharging: Battery/Capacitor - OK: 2I:4:1, 2I:4:2, 1I:1:5, 1I:1:6, 1I:1:7, 1I:1:8, 1I:1:1, 1I:1:2, 1I:1:3, 1I:1:4, 2I:2:1, 2I:2:2, 2I:2:3, 2I:2:4, Controller

The battery status is indeed charging, though hpssacli detail also shows a cache error (cable error). Opening a task just in case it is a real error and not just the battery charging, afaict this is the first time we've come across it on ms-be machines

@fgiunchedi Do you need me to do anything with this yet?

@Cmjohnson yeah it looks like a hw raid controller cache of some sorts? We can coordinate some downtime maybe next week after the switchover to debug (or reseat?) further, have you seen this error before?

Logs sent to HP, they're most likely going to want to do a f/w upgrade first.

@Cmjohnson I have heard of batteries issues from other HPE users. Could you do a visual inspection of the battery on those systems and see whether they're swollen or look damaged in any other way? (not kidding, I've heard this kind of thing happening…). If you have a multimeter, it may also be useful to measure them and see whether they're dead already.

HP is sending me a new battery and wants me to upgrade the f/w.

@Cmjohnson sounds good! let's try that on ms-be1019 on Tues

@fgiunchedi Hey missed that Tuesday....let's do this Thrusday morning but has to be 1021...the ticket with Dell is 1021 and I have to be consistent in case they need logs.

@Cmjohnson sure let's try ms-be2021 today, ping me on IRC

@fguinchedi he batteries for ms-be1020 and 1019 are on-site...please let me know when you want to swap them

ms-be1020 had its bbu swapped, error cleared:

We were getting duplicate alerts from ms-be1019 due to its hp raid check going unknown (I think). I've disabled the handler for hp raid on ms-be1019 though it'll need to be reenabled once this is fixed.

fgiunchedi updated the task description. (Show Details)Jun 9 2017, 8:41 AM

@fgiunchedi the bbu finally shipped. i will ping you once it arrives to swap
