Help: Disable write cache for battery replacement

Hello Everyone,

I have a AIX 5.2 and saw the following entry in the error report in one of my servers.
IDENTIFIER TIMESTAMP T C RESOURCE_NAME DESCRIPTION
FFDFB692 0705111911 P H sisraid0 BATTERY PACK FAILURE

Now, we're ready to replace the battery pack but I heard I need to disable the write cache first before doing any replacements. I have no idea on how to do it or check if the write cache is enabled.

Could someone please help?Smilie
