Re: Impending cache battery pack failure

We have had this message on several machines. As said in another post,
this message is generated after a fixed number of days regardless of the
real status of the battery.

You probably still have a few weeks ahead of you so you can schedule a
weekend no problem. 

As mention in other post, if the battery gives up, you will experience
a great degradation of performance.

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,
