    Thanks...it had been awhile since we had to replace any F/W cache batteries
    and just forgot the command. That must be the only place it is
    documented...myself and another spent some time trying to find it with no
    luck.

    Thanks,

    The command is documented in the Advanced SerialRAID Adapters User's Guide
    and Maintenance Information, SA33-3285-01.

    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!
