/cx/bbu show status

This command shows the status of the BBU. Possible values are:

Testing. A battery test is currently in progress. This test may take up to 24 hours to complete. During the test, the BBU is not capable of backup operation and the write cache of the RAID controller is also disabled. If the test is completed with no error and the BBU status changes to WeakBat or OK, the write cache will be re-enabled. If a Fault, Failed or Error occurs during the test, the write cache remains in the disabled state until the problem is fixed.

Charging. The BBU is currently charging the battery. Charging is started automatically by the BBU whenever necessary. During charging, the BBU is not capable of backup operation and the write cache is disabled. Once the test is completed with no error and the BBU status changes to OK, the write cache will be re-enabled. If a FAULT or ERROR occurs during the test, the write cache remains in the disabled state until the problem is fixed.

Fault. A battery fault is detected. The BBU is not capable of backup operation and the write cache is disabled. Replace the battery and/or the BBU board as soon as possible so that the write cache will be enabled again.

Error. A BBU error is detected. The BBU is not capable of backup operation and the write cache is disabled. Replace the battery and/or the Battery Backup Unit as soon as possible so that the write cache will be enabled again.

Failed. The battery failed a test. In this state, the BBU is not capable of backup operation and the write cache is disabled. We recommend you replace the battery and/or the Battery Backup Unit as soon as possible so that the write cache will be enabled again.

WeakBat. The BBU is functioning normally and is online and capable of backing up the write cache. However, the battery is weak and should be replaced.

OK. The BBU is ready, online and capable of backing up the write cache.

-(dash) A battery is not present or a Battery Backup Unit is not installed
