BBU (Battery Backup Unit) Object Commands are commands that provide information and perform actions related to a specific BBU installed on a specific controller, such as /c0/bbu.

This object is only available on 9000 series controllers on which a BBU is actually installed. (The BBU is not supported on 9590SE-4ME.)

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

bbu ON No Testing OK OK 72 01-Jul-2004

The command output indicates that the battery capacity was last measured on 01-Jul-2004. The battery is estimated to last 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).

Note: If the BBU is either not present or disabled, the following will be displayed after the command //localhost> /c0/bbu show.

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