frdb1001 RAID controller battery failure
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

frdb1001 became unresponsive without warning tonight. We checked central logs and didn't see anything informative, and attempting to log in via vsp failed, so I power cycled it. It came up with this POST message from the RAID controller:

313-HPE Smart Storage Battery 1 Failure - Battery Shutdown Event Code: 0x0400.
Action: Restart system. Contact HPE support if condition persists.

I don't see anything obvious in the OS, but did note that ssacli does not have this line which is present on a similar host:
"Cache Backup Power Source: Batteries", so I think it may have disabled write caching.
