BBU Object Commands
BBU (Battery Backup Unit) Object Commands are commands that provide
information and perform actions related to a specific BBU installed on a
specific controller, such as
/c0/bbu
.
This object is only available on 9000 series controllers on which a BBU is
actually installed.

/cx/bbu show all (9000 only)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
bbu ON No Testing OK OK 72 01-Jul-2004
The command output indicates that the battery capacity was last measured on
01-Jul-2004. The battery is estimated to last for 72 hours from the last tested
date. In this example, the BBU unit is currently testing the battery. Both
voltage and temperature are normal. The BBU is not ready to backup the write
cache on the controller (due to the testing). (For complete information about
the BBU, see the user guide that came with your 3ware RAID controller).
Note:
If the BBU is either not present or disabled, the following will be
displayed after the //localhost> /c0/bbu show command:
Error: (CLI:053) Battery Backup Unit is not present
.
