Recovering data from the battery-backed write cache
If the server blade fails, use the following procedure to recover data temporarily stored in the BBWC.
CAUTION: Before starting this procedure, read the information about protecting against
electrostatic discharge ("Preventing electrostatic discharge" on page 22).
1. Perform one of the following:
o Set up a recovery server blade station using an identical server blade model. Do not install any
internal drives or BBWC in this server blade. (HP recommends this option.)
o Find a server blade that has enough empty drive bays to accommodate all the drives from the
failed server blade and that meets all the other requirements for drive and array migration.
