RE: Impending cache battery pack failure

You can go a little while.  I just had a client who is 700 miles from me get
this message, and I already had a trip sched to visit them, and we waited a
little over 2 weeks before we did the replacement, with no ill results.

Subject: Impending cache battery pack failure

We had this message on the system console on our model 800 yesterday:

*Attention*  Contact your hardware service provider.

Which indicated that we will have to replace the battery soon.  How soon?
The disks are still showing in operational status so I am not sure what
triggers the "impending" message.  Anybody have experience with actually
waiting until it failed and how long that took?  I'd like to put off
bringing the system down until the weekend but, if impending meant hours,
I'd better get on it tonight.

Thanks,

Pete Helgren
