PERC 5e controller battery replacement
Hi, we have a PE 2950 server with Perc 5e controllers. I replaced the controller battery with a new one but its showing up as missing. I left the server plugged into power on for about 30 minutes.Then I powered the sever on. Still no change.Is there a
# /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omconfig storage battery action=startlearn controller=1 battery=0
Operation not supported. Read, action=startlearn
Refer to the documentation for more information.
I am just wondering is it a failing controller card or just a bad battery. Is there a diagnostic test to check the controller?
