Hi Benny, Unfortunately OMSA has no info on when the charge cycle is expected to be finished, or how long it has been in its current learn/charge state: # omreport storage battery controller=1 Battery 0 on Controller PERC 6/E Adapter (Slot 1) Controller PERC 6/E Adapter (Slot 1) ID : 0 Status : Non-Critical Name : Battery 0 State : Charging Recharge Count : Not Applicable Max Recharge Count : Not Applicable Predicted Capacity Status : Ready Learn State : Requested Next Learn Time : 0 hours Maximum Learn Delay : 7 days 0 hours Learn Mode : Auto I could make the plugin record it, but then I would violate my principle that the plugin should be stateless... Introducing state in the plugin complicates things. There is another reason that you would want to know that the battery is charging, and I suspect that this is also why Dell has OMSA report it as a non-critical (warning) status. During (some of) the charge cycle, write-back for vdisks (i.e. use of the cache) is disabled. This means that the RAID performance is degraded, and depending on the nature of your disk usage you'll want to know about this when it happens. OMSA also lets you delay the charge cycle for up to seven days. Cheers, -- Trond H.
