Dear Experts,

We have x400 isilon, OneFS Version: 8.0.0.6 and we don't have support.
We received notification "NVRAM battery 1 has failed" & "NVRAM battery 2 has failed"   found the red lights  backside of the Node on the try.

After that we replaced both the new battery's then run the manual test command : /usr/bin/isi_hwtools/isi_ipmicmc -B -V -p r -i 1

" WARNING - unsupported configuration ".

Kindly advise.

Event Group Causes
HW_SYSTEM_BATTERY_FAIL: NVRAM battery 1 has failed
HW_SYSTEM_BATTERY_FAIL: NVRAM battery 2 has failed


I followed below link for run the manual test but got the below command output.

Hi Kolhem,

Cloud you please confirm that is the below commands  for reset the bmc & cmc ?
Do we need to run these commands on all the nodes or just one node

Reset BMC/CMC
- To reset the BMC on all nodes in the cluster, run the following command:
# isi_for_array -s /usr/bin/isi_hwtools/isi_ipmicmc -c -a bmc

- When this completes, reset the CMC on all nodes in the cluster by running the following command:
# isi_for_array -s /usr/bin/isi_hwtools/isi_ipmicmc -c -a cmc

If the issue is on Node 35 use below

cold reset CMC which is a non-disruptive process. Below is the command to perform the same:

# isi_for_array -n35 /usr/bin/isi_hwtools/isi_ipmicmc -c -a cmc

Please perform the same thrice on node 35 (by checking the status after each attempt). The status can be checked using the below command:

# isi_for_array -n35 /usr/bin/isi_hwtools/isi_ipmicmc -d -V -a cmc

Thanks & Regards,
