Hi all,
I'm running a Supermicro rebranded flashed to LSI 9260-8i RAID card with BBU in my workstation and so far so good. One strange issue I've noticed is that there seems to be inconsistent info about the health of the BBU unit between boot time firmware and windows MRM.
When the machine first boots, the RAID FW loads and reports battery is "Fully Charged", I can go into WebBios and create arrays with write-back cache with battery support, so everything seems to be in order.
After Windows loads, however, I get messages from MRM stating "Battery Failed, BBU write-back not possible" etc. They seem to repeat every 30-60 minutes.
I know these batteries don't last forever but conflicting messages are really confusing. I don't really need BBU as I'm looking to just run RAID0 on 2 SSDs and 6 15K SAS drives
