Re: faulty A1000 controller- should I care?

The firmware has never been updated but neither has the RM software.
They are compatable versions. I didn't know that about the battery!
That may be the problem. I will have to look into that. Thanks.

BTW if I got the replacement disk for the bad one right away and
swapped them can I still put the disk into service or does it need the
controller in a different state for that? I assume it has to rebuild
the RAID onto the replacement disk? ..unless it just makes the new one
the new hot spare. I have to read up on that.

Somehow I think it rebuilds onto the replaced disk and the original hot
spare resumes it's role as hot spare.
Still looking for documentation that verifies this.
