Hello,
we recently installed a 1GB bbwc on a p410i smart array, dl 385 G7.
upon restarting the server we saw the following error in iLO:
POST error: 1795 - slot X drive array - cache module configuration error - data does not correspond to this drive array. caching is temp disabled.
we then ssh'd to the server (it has esxi installedd) and through hpsscli, found the following error:
cache status: temporarily disabled
cache status details: cache disabled; wrong cache board attached
Now, the part number is correct as we have checked. the previous cache board (no battery) was 256MB and functioning ok. the firmware version at the moment is 5.70. there are firmware updgrades available but none of them address the issue we are having. also, given the environment (dont want to update for no reason).
has anyone experienced the error above or has experience of dealing with this type of issue? will the latest firmware definitely address the error we are facing?
btw, battery is full charged and not displaying any errors
