    If you have hardware maintenance you can call IBM and a CE will come out and
    replace them.

    There is downtime involved to pull the card and replace it.

    As a side note to this, where did you get the batteries? I've got a SSA
    adapter that needs new batteries but I'm not sure where to begin looking...

    Mat,

    The batteries typically have about 1000 hours of use left in them after the
    first error is generated in the error report. We had a CE come in and
    replace all of ours, we had 6 that failed at the exact same time. Afterwards
    he ran an apparently undocumented (that's what he said) command: ssa_format
    -l ssa# -b

    Where # is obviously the SSA loop that the FWC resides on. If your sick of
    seeing errors in the errpt, you can run this anytime to reset the battery
    timer, just remember it really does need replacement eventually.

    Regards,

    Darryl

    Question for all of you... How do I "reset" a F/W cache battery? I replaced
    the burned out battery and it still shows the old battery statistics...i.e.
    battery hours.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!
