Being that it says the battery is not completely charged I would recommend to leave it turned on as it can take about 24 hours to ensure the battery is fully charged and then try and run the setup command and see if that error message goes away.
This is one I have come to own, it was stored unit with no history, I've left it on all day today and I'll try again with it tonight. I'm hoping leaving it will ave meant it finished it's Initializing,
Where is the database stored, is it the flash on the controller, if so might that be duff?
Ahhhh ok, so the disks I'm using to test have raid info on them from another system, that's going to be the issue, So Can I just flatten the disks I'm going to test with and or do they need to be initialized in some way? does the rest command from the cmd line blank disks? is there a cmd to blank the disks.
But I do get some response without a disk in??? but then when I insert two disks which I have wiped and created a single partition, the same????

Ahhh I see, right I was using 2 disks to try and create a small test array, I'll drop 7 in, they are off the shelf, I may buy Dell after testing it, do that all have to be the same size/make/model?
Yes you were correct, more disks and it all works fine, a good system, the only issue I have is the java app keeps going blank, is this something anyone has seen before? I can hit enter on the ip address in the address bar again and it works again for a bit then does the same thing.

So here is the process I've been through it's stuck at part 5 of the diag, anyone knoe what part that is;
re resetting an array that is a member of a group,
it is recommended that you delete the member from the
group.
Reset this array to factory defaults? [n/DeleteAllMyDataNow] DeleteAllMyDataNow
Resetting system, this will take a few minutes.
Deleting backup password files
Deleting agent.cnf
Zeroing drives, nvram and rebooting the system

Yes you were correct, more disks and it all works fine, a good system, the only issue I have is the java app keeps going blank, is this something anyone has seen before? I can hit enter on the ip address in the address bar again and it works again for a bit then does the same thing.

FM Version: V4.3.7 (R131440)
Java: Version 7 Update 11
IE 8 on windows and Firefox on Centos
Can I get a FW update without a support contract as it's not possible to get on for the PS100 any more?
