I have a ServeRAID M5014 SAS/SATA Controller in a server and have just put an M5000 Series Battery directly onto the card.
I was just expecting the battery to charge and be able to see it, but no joy after a few days and a restart. As far as I am aware, the battery should just be detected. What am I missing here? The server is 8.3-RELEASE and I get: # mfiutil show adapter mfi0 Adapter: Product Name: ServeRAID M5014 SAS/SATA Controller Serial Number: SV93301447 Firmware: 12.0.1-0097 RAID Levels: JBOD, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID10, RAID50 Battery Backup: not present NVRAM: 32K Onboard Memory: 256M Minimum Stripe: 8k Maximum Stripe: 1M # mfiutil show battery mfi0: No battery present # dmesg | grep mfi mfi0: <LSI MegaSAS Gen2> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 0x97940000-0x97943fff,0x97900000-0x9793ffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 mfi0: Megaraid SAS driver Ver 3.00 mfi0: 21863 (408970429s/0x0020/info) - Shutdown command received from host mfi0: 21864 (boot + 3s/0x0020/info) - Firmware initialization started (PCI ID 0079/1000/03c7/1014) mfi0: 21865 (boot + 3s/0x0020/info) - Firmware version 2.0.33-0901 mfi0: 21866 (boot + 65s/0x0008/WARN) - Battery Not Present mfi0: 21867 (boot + 65s/0x0020/info) - Board Revision mfi0: 21868 (boot + 83s/0x0002/info) - Inserted: PD 08(e0xff/s8) mfi0: 21869 (boot + 83s/0x0002/info) - Inserted: PD 08(e0xff/s8) Info: enclPd=ffff, scsiType=0, portMap=00, sasAddr=5000cca00a66b335,0000000000000000 mfi0: 21870 (boot + 83s/0x0002/info) - PD 08(e0xff/s8) FRU is 42D0628 mfi0: 21871 (boot + 83s/0x0002/info) - Inserted: PD 09(e0xff/s9) mfi0: 21872 (boot + 83s/0x0002/info) - Inserted: PD 09(e0xff/s9) Info: enclPd=ffff, scsiType=0, portMap=02, sasAddr=5000cca00a6993b1,0000000000000000 mfi0: 21873 (boot + 83s/0x0002/info) - PD 09(e0xff/s9) FRU is 42D0628 mfi0: 21874 (boot + 83s/0x0002/info) - Inserted: PD 0a(e0xff/s10) mfi0: 21875 (boot + 83s/0x0002/info) - Inserted: PD 0a(e0xff/s10) Info: enclPd=ffff, scsiType=0, portMap=01, sasAddr=5000cca00a645a65,0000000000000000 mfi0: 21876 (boot + 83s/0x0002/info) - PD 0a(e0xff/s10) FRU is 42D0628 mfi0: 21877 (boot + 84s/0x0008/WARN) - BBU disabled; changing WB virtual disks to WT mfi0: [ITHREAD] mfi0: 21878 (408970578s/0x0020/info) - Time established as 12/16/12 10:56:18; (145 seconds since power on) mfid0: <MFI Logical Disk> on mfi0 mfid0: 570296MB (1167966208 sectors) RAID volume '' is optimal Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour before or have any pointers?
