We did a normal shutdown of the system, replaced the battery pack, restarted the system and all was well.
You will want to be sure to check the dates on all of the cache battery packs and "force battery to failure" if they are ready to expire. Then replace those battery packs as well. This keeps all of your battery packs at the same expiration level and saves you from having to redo this job in 30 days for the next expiring battery pack. Checking the cache battery pack is done via SST.
What was weird about our situation is that we just did this exercise six months ago. All 7 of our IOA battery packs had 184 running days on them except for DC05 which had zero warning and zero error days left. It appears that the battery pack simply failed.
In any event, we are back up.The other small item is that after we restarted the system a disk drive on another IOA failed so it was a slightly longer night than anticipated.
Got to love the AS400. Failed drive, automatic notice of parity failure via text message to me and to IBM, concurrent maintenance, rebuild drive, all working with nary a scrape.
