SWXRC-04 - Storage Works - Conroller

Dear Managers,

after a lot of work I succeeded in running TruCluster 5.1A PK6 on AlphaServers
2100A/1000A with a Storage Works Shelf that used dual redundant (HSZ40-type)
SWXRC-04 controllers.

-Since a few days one of the controllers could no longer be accessed.
-Exchange of the Flash-Cards between both does not change anything
- "run fmu" described the last_failure_code "02d72390" as a "cache battery failure".
After changing the cache-batteries the failed contröller could be accessed
again, but I got the following error:

An unexpected buckcheck occurred during last failure processing:
Last failure code: 02D72390
This controller has an invalid cache module
Invalid Cache -- CLI command set reduced

and the former prompt "SWXRC>" changed to "HSZ>".

-The 2 controllers were no longer able to work together
-It seems, that the "failed" controller had lost its "mind" !

removing the "HSZ-controller" I was able to set up my system again with the
former working "SWXRC-controller" !
But loosing the redundancy !!!

Does anybody know, how I can regain the configuration for the "failed"
controller, in order to let him reappear again as a "SWXRC"-controller ??

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance
