hi, i am using Dell PowerEdge 2500 with RAID5 single container of 33.9gb dangerously dedicated with PERC 3/Di controller. the problem is that the system freezes occasionally, however, not on regular basis. the system may go down over a quiet period of time when not in heavy use. i thought it may have been the ups configuration but, i have now arrieved to a conclusion that it may be something to do with the battery support for RAID controller. i have personnally tested the ups on a different server and it is ok (as far as my knowledge goes). it was doing the same even without the ups - no powercuts involved! when the system is rebooted after the freeze, after a while it displays message on aac0: ** Battery is now fully charged! i was looking for some utility program that would offer me some kind of a control over the RAID battery so i can determine and possibly eliminate another cause of the freezing. any reference in mailgroups are leading me to ups support and RAID itself but nothing mentioning the battery support, with the exception of Dell which discusses a reconditioning cycle of the batteries, possible affects on the system and approximate duration and freequencies of reconditioning. (Dell Man support) any valid suggestions, discussions welcome thank you -- Tomas Palfi i would love to contribute..... perhaps one day!
