The problem was solved by disabling the read and write cache for the disks under the controller which had the failed battery.
I think it could have been solved also by moving the disks from Controller B to controller A , but this I am not sure if you don't have MPIO ( Multi path I/O ) how will it behave ?
I will attach few screen shots later.
thanks
