Managing a Battery Backup Unit
To manage a battery backup unit (BBU) on an installed controller, select the BBU icon in the left panel and click the Operations tab in the right panel. The options for BBUs are as follows:
- Refresh: Select this option and click Go to rescan and update the BBU information that appears in MegaRAID Storage Manager.
- Set BBU properties
- Postpone Learn Delay Interval: You can use this option to delay the periodic test that MegaRAID Storage Manager runs on BBUs to determine how well they are holding a charge. You might want to do this if critical processing is occurring on the processor, since data throughput is somewhat slower while the test is being run.
- Auto Learning Mode: MegaRAID Storage Manager uses the Auto Learning feature to monitor the health of the BBU. It does this by periodically discharging and charging the BBU to determine how well it holds a charge. The Auto Learning Mode options are Auto (default), Disabled, and Warn. LSI recommends that you not change the default option. You can select the Warn option If you need to disable Auto Learning for a period of time. If you select Disabled or Warn, an option will appear that allows you to start the BBU Learning cycle manually.
After you change the BBU properties, click Go to enable them.
