Determine if the Battery Is Faulty

You must determine if the battery is faulty before you replace it.

1. Access the Oracle ILOM CLI.

   See Accessing the SP.

2. Determine if the battery has become problematic.

   -> show /System/Open_Problems
   Open Problems (1)
   Date/Time                 Subsystems          Component
   ------------------------  ------------------  ------------

    fault.chassis.battery.fail (Probability:100, UUID:76a2179a-51bd-c836-a7f1-af62953577fa, Resource:/SYS/MB, Part
    Number:7092577, Serial Number:AK00329231, Reference Document:http://support.oracle.com/msg/---)
   ->

   • If you see the word battery and Oracle ILOM target /SYS/MB in the output, then replace the battery.

     Start at Remove the Air Duct Assembly.

   • If you see a different component identified in the output, then service that component.

     See Open Problem Faults and Oracle ILOM Legacy Target Replaceable Components.

3. Determine if the battery has faulted.

   -> show /SYS/MB/V_VBAT alarm_status
    /SYS/MB/V_VBAT
    	Properties:
    		alarm_status = state_asserted
   ->

   If the alarm status is anything other than cleared, replace the battery. Start at Remove the Air Duct Assembly.

4. If you are unable to determine if the battery is faulty, seek further information.

   See Detecting and Managing Faults.
