4.5 FC Battery Status and In-Service Date
Procedures
The CLI and SSCS programs offer the following features for FC battery modules:
■ Setting the In-Service Date
■ Monitoring the FC battery status
4.5.1 Viewing Status and Setting the In-Service Date
with the CLI
This command sets the in-service date for battery FRU replacements and displays
the status of the battery modules.
■ For battery FRU replacements, the battery in-service-date must be set manually
with the show battery-status command after the battery FRU module is
installed. The show battery-status command will prompt you to set the in-
service date to the system clock date. Run this command immediately to ensure
the battery status is accurate when you run the show battery-status
command in the future.
■ For redundant controllers, status for both batteries is shown. Status values
include: Expired, Warning, or Good. A status of Warning indicates that the battery
will expire within 21 days.
Note – If the battery type is an early board module, then battery expiration
monitoring is not supported. In this case, a message displays that says, “battery
board type is not supported.”
