F0531 error - RAID battery inoperable

[sve_subbu]

I see these 2 errors in few of our blades after upgrading them to 2.1(3a).

F1237 - Health LED of server 1/1 shows error. Reason:RAID_BATT_FLT:Sensor Failure Asserted;

F0531 - RAID Battery on server 1/1 operability:inoperable. Reason:

Any inputs on these errors?

Thanks

Hi Sye,

What type of server is this?

This may be related to a bug depending on the server, etc.Typically, if the logs are not showing an actual hardware fault, in that scenario, decomissioning the blade and re-acknowledging it and or trying to reset the CMOS, might resolve it.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

Is there a way to confirm if the battery needs a replacement? Or is it always assumed that it needs to be replaced for the fault code:F0531?
