 Linux on Dell systems FAQ-O-Matic : Dell PowerEdge RAID Controllers : Adaptec-based PERC Controllers and ROMB :
What is this "AAC:Batte" message on the console? |
You are needing to perform a battery recondition on the battery for the raid
on the motherboard. You will need the afacli raid utility loaded to perform
the recondition. You can get this from http://support.dell.com/ and after is
installed command to start is "afacli". Next command is: "open afa0". Then
type: "controller battery_recondition /always=TRUE" and should start the
recondition. This will disable cache and slow down performance on the
server and is best run at slow business hours. It will take 8 - 10 hours to
complete and the error should go away. By the way this is a reoccuring
instance every 6 months. It is so that the controller can discharge and
then recharge the battery to extend it's life.

This is actually a truncated message. Newer aacraid drivers (for kernels 2.2.20, 2.4.13, and above) have a fix so that the entire adapter-generated messages get printed to syslog properly.

Are there management utilities so that I can create and delete LUNs under Linux?
