Quick battery swap (All done)

Posted (September 19th, 2006 at 1:24 am PST) by Kelly

I have to do an NVRAM battery swap in a filer really quickly. Downtime shouldn’t be longer than 5 minutes.

Update: All went well.

Tue Sep 19 08:49:56 GMT [kern.syslog.msg:notice]: The system was down for 264 seconds

Oh yeah.

    Maybe this explains why the panel won’t load at all for me? (So I can’t send a support ticket the normal way).

    FWIW, I’m in Europe, and last night the ’system’ had great performance; my sites are complex PHP stuff, (with embedded PHP apps), good work overall; I’ll sit tight, be patient, and cross my fingers. You folks always come through eventually.

    Just so you guys know, this is not why the panel is/was inaccessible. I will look in to that now.

    Also, Re Kirke: Glad you like the updates. When we have various other problems, stuff that is standard maintenance seems like it’s part of the overall problem. :( In this case, a lead acid battery failing to hold its charge.

    I can’t access the web-panel either, firefox has showed it as loading for the last 15 minutes but hasn’t done anything, yet everything else seems to work.

    Haha.. gotta love using a NetApp for filers - not only are things easily swapped, but you get nice notifications like how long it was down. And firmware updates (to the drives, or the chassis) are Mostly Harmless.
