Restarting server with force write back enabled
Hi
Does anyone know if there would be any RAID config issues if I restart a Poweredge 2950 with a dead battery and force write back enabled? The battery died a few weeks ago but I havent needed to restart it until now. In the server manager it is showing that force write back is the write policy and disk cache policy is disabled.
I just want to make sure that no config or data will be lost if I restart it for Windows updates?
Cheers

thanks for getting back to me. the situation we have is this. We have a server where the battery went a few weeks ago and it hasnt been restarted since. Everything has been running ok on it but it really needs a restart now after some updates. what I really need to know is if it will restart ok given the current config - force write back (caching unavailable due to dead battery). We're not changing the battery as the server is being replaced in the next few weeks.
Surely it should let you turn off without losing everything so you can replace a battery?
