6.1 Monitoring the IBBU with the MegaRAID Configuration
Utilities
This section describes the MegaRAID configuration utilities you can use
to monitor the condition of the installed iBBU and to change the
automatic learn mode options. They include the WebBIOS Configuration
Utility, MegaCLI, and MegaRAID Storage Manager.
6.1.1 Monitoring the iBBU with the WebBIOS Configuration Utility
The WebBIOS CU is a web-based utility for configuring and managing
RAID volumes. Its operation is independent of the operating system
because the utility resides in the MegaRAID BIOS. Follow these steps to
monitor the status of an installed iBBU with the WebBIOS utility:
1. Boot the system.
2. Start the WebBIOS CU by pressing CTRL+H when the prompt
appears on the screen during boot-up.
The WebBIOS CU main menu screen appears.
3. Click Controller Properties on the WebBIOS CU main menu
screen.
The first Controller Properties screen appears, as shown in
Figure 6.1 .
