Hi all

I have a pair of Sun Sroredge 6120 Arrays. Firmware level is 3.1.4. Here
is the output of refresh -s:

Current Date and Time: Mon Nov 27 09:43:09 MET 2006
Next Scheduled Refresh: Mon Dec 25 01:13:15 MET 2006

u2b2 normal Mon Nov 20 05:43:34 MET 2006 Thu Oct 20 17:46:00

Output from fru stat:

------ ------- --------- ------ ------ ------- ------ ------ ------
u1pcu1 ready enabled line normal normal normal normal normal
u1pcu2 ready enabled line normal normal normal normal normal
u2pcu1 ready enabled line normal normal normal normal normal
u2pcu2 ready enabled line normal normal normal normal normal

-> warranty expired a year ago, but battery seems still ok. A few weeks
ago at the Sun Hotline, an engineer told me, I should only exchange the
batteries when I am told to do so by syslog messages, i.e. when the
health check would fail.

What is to believe: The warranty date or the health check? Best practice?

Thanks in advance. Will summarize

Paul
