Name OnlineState BBUReady Status Volt Temp Hours LastCapTest

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

bbu ON No Testing OK OK 72 01-Apr-2010

The command output indicates that the battery capacity was last measured on

01-Apr-2010. The battery typically lasts for 72 hours from the last tested date.

In this example, the BBU unit is currently testing the battery. Both voltage

and temperature are normal. The BBU is not ready to backup the write cache

on the controller (due to the testing). (For complete information about the

BBU, see the user guide that came with your 3ware RAID controller).

/cx/bbu show attribute [attribute ...]

The /cx/bbu show attribute command shows the current setting of one or

more of the given attributes on the BBU board. You can specify one or many

attributes. If you specify an invalid attribute, the loop terminates. Possible

attributes are: batinst, bootloader, cap, fw, lasttest, pcb, ready, status, serial,

temp, volt.

/cx/bbu show batinst

The /cx/bbu show batinst command shows the date when the current battery

was installed.

Note: If the BBU is either not present or disabled, the following is shown after the

command: //localhost> /c0/bbu show.

Error: (CLI:053) Battery Backup Unit is not present.
