Re: cache battery check

You can also do a BATTERYINFO -LIST to see all the applicable resources
(i.e. those that have cache batteries). It's possible that the V5R1 system
isn't using any controllers that have battery powered cache...

I followed the instruction at faq.midrange.com to check the cache
battery pack on a v5r1 system.

It worked fine and I see a report.

Battery Life Information for Resource DC09
Serial Number. . . . . . . . . . : 10-0127073
IOA Type-Model . . . . . . . . . : 2748-001
Frame ID - Card Position . . . . : 1 -E16
Battery type . . . . . . . . . . : Nickel Cadmium (NiCd)
Battery State. . . . . . . . . . : A battery error has been issued
Power on Time (days) . . . . . . : 1003
Adjusted Power on Time (days). . : 1003
Estimated time to warning (days) : 0

I follow the same instructions on a twin v5r1 system and the report
comes up blank:

DISPLAY/ALTER/DUMP
Running macro: BATTERYINFO -INFO -ALL
***BATTERY INFORMATION FOR RESOURCES THAT HAVE CACHE***:

Why?
