The Interconnect CRU
(also known as an Interconnect-battery canister) for this storage
array has failed
What Caused the Problem?
The interconnect-battery canister for this storage array has failed and must be replaced. The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.
Caution: Possible loss of data accessibility. Do not remove a component when either (1) the Service action (removal) allowed (SAA) field in the Details area of this recovery procedure is NO (), or (2) the SAA LED on the affected component is OFF (note that some products do not have SAA LEDs). Removing a component while its SAA LED is OFF may result in temporary loss of access to your data. Refer to the following Important Notes and the recovery steps for more detail.
Caution: Risk of Data Loss. If Controller B is the only controller in this storage array, contact your Technical Support Representative to assist you with correcting this problem (DO NOT continue with the recovery steps).
Important Notes
This problem may be a result of a failure from another component in the storage array. If there are other problems reported in the Summary area, perform the recovery steps for all other problems before you continue with this procedure.
It is highly recommended that you replace the interconnect-battery canister as soon as possible after it has been removed because the storage array will not have redundant controller operation while the Interconnect-battery canister is removed.
DO NOT click the
Recheck
button during this procedure until instructed to do so. If you click the
Recheck
button when not instructed, you may lose access to these recovery steps.
Service Action Allowed Important Information:
The
Service action (removal) allowed
field in the Details area indicates whether or not you can safely remove the component. If the SAA field is NO (
), then the affected component must remain in place until you service another component first.
The
Service action LED on Component
field in the Details area indicates whether or not a physical SAA LED is present on the hardware component. This field does NOT indicate whether the LED is ON or OFF (that indication is provided by the Service action (removal) allowed field).
If a component does not have an SAA LED, then it is OK to remove the component when its fault LED is lit and the
Service action (removal) allowed
field = YES (
) in the Details area.
The
Service action (removal) allowed
field shown in the Details area and the physical SAA LED on the hardware component (if supported) MUST match before you remove the affected component. In rare cases (such as multiple problems), the status of the LED and the SAA field may not match. If there is a mismatch, then you should NOT remove the component until these indications match.
Recovery Steps
1 | Check for other problems reported in the Recovery Guru Summary area.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | You must prepare the storage array before you remove the interconnect-battery canister. Select Controller B on the Hardware tab in the Array Management Window (AMW), then select the Hardware > Controller > Advanced > Place > Offline menu option. Caution: Risk of Data Loss. DO NOT attempt to place Controller A offline. Do not attempt to place Controller B offline if Controller B is the only controller in the storage array.

3 | Record the part number of the interconnect-battery canister.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | You must ensure that it is OK to remove the interconnect-battery canister.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Click the Recheck button to refresh the Service Action Allowed fields in the Details area. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Check the Service Action Allowed status for the Component requiring service in the Details area.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Remove the interconnect-battery canister.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Insert the new canister and be sure that the canister is securely seated. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | You can now bring Controller B online. Perform the following steps:
