Dell Poweredge 2950 Raid Controller Firmware Update
What should I do to fix this issue? Is this something I should dell poweredge 2950 raid 5 drive in foreign state be worried about? Answer: In most situations, the solution to the problem is to replace the RAID battery, as dell poweredge 2950 raid management software it is dying or dead. This problem typically happens after few years of running the PowerEdge servers. Based on my experience, this happens on servers that are typically 5 years old. But, https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/466788-dell-poweredge-2950-wd1228-romb-batt-error-please-help there has been few cases where the RAID battery was dead even in the 1st two years. RAID battery is not that expensive. I always recommend that you keep a spare RAID battery and RAID controller memory handy for this kind of situation. If you have DELL omsa tools installed, you can view the status from the command line on your server using http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2015/01/dell-w1228-raid-battery-error/ the omreport command as shown below. I’ve seen this error message on various Poweredge servers including 2950, R610, R710.

As always, it is a good idea to have a backup of your critical application and keep it somewhere on a different server if something goes wrong with this server. Replace the RAID battery. This is fairly easy. Refer to the DELL poweredge manual for your model on how to
