Check the console for NVMEM battery messages. Data ONTAP checks
the battery charge when booting. If the battery is not charged enough to
hold the NVMEM contents for a sufficient period, the boot process is
stopped until the battery is properly recharged. However, you can
resume booting by following the console messages. You can check the
battery charge level by accessing the Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) by pressing Ctrl-G and the entering the
command. The battery status is displayed on the console. Exit the BMC
by entering the
command to return to the system console.
If the battery needs charging, you must leave the system power
on.
