in case of a power outage you will lose any data in cache which isn't (yet) written to disks... a new battery would be the safer way!

I have one StorageTek 2540 array that I would like to connect to the T2000.
For the moment it would be a single path connection, but I've ordered a 2nd HBA, so eventually it would be... (4 Replies)

We're moving our production 3510FC to development, so we need to replace the production 3510FC. The 6140 is nice, but pricey.
Here's the question: Would two 2540's (RAID 10) be 'faster' than one 3510? (RAID 10) and faster than one 6140 (RAID 10)?

Hi Guys and Gals,
Wionder if you could help me, got a problem with a controller on a storagetek 2540, dead when fully powered up but if you reboot, it is ok for a couple of seconds (and you can ping it). Then once the array is fully up, it goes faulty and is un-pingable.

Bought a Sun StorageTek 2540 SAN array a few years ago from a company that was going out of business. When we first set it up, we were able to get all the software (Common Array Manager) and firmware directly from Sun.
We just upgraded the drives, but the array is too large for the firmware. Now... (6 Replies)

inittodr
INITTODR(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual INITTODR(9)
NAME
inittodr -- initialize system time
SYNOPSIS
void
inittodr(time_t base);
DESCRIPTION
The inittodr() function determines the time and sets the system clock. It tries to pick the correct time using a set of heuristics that
examine the system's battery-backed clock and the time reported by the file system, as given in base. Those heuristics include:
o If the battery-backed clock has a valid time, and is not significantly behind the time provided by base, it is used.
o If the battery-backed clock does not have a valid time, or is significantly behind the time provided in base, and the time provided in
base is within reason, base is used as the current time.
o If the battery-backed clock appears invalid, and base appears non-sensical or was not provided (was given as zero), an arbitrary base
(typically some time within the same year that the kernel was last updated) will be used.
Once a system time has been determined, it is stored in the time variable.
DIAGNOSTICS
The inittodr() function prints diagnostic messages if it has trouble figuring out the system time. Conditions that can cause diagnostic mes-
sages to be printed include:
o There is no battery-backed clock present on the system.
o The battery-backed clock's time appears nonsensical.
o The base time appears nonsensical.
o The base time and the battery-backed clock's time differ by a large amount.

clock_ymdhms_to_secs(9), resettodr(9), time_second(9)
BUGS
Some systems use heuristics for picking the correct time that are slightly different.
