3.12 Replacing a Failed Controller Containing Data in

the TBBU

The MegaRAID Transportable Battery Backup Module (TBBU) is a cache
memory module with an integrated battery pack. The module provides
an uninterrupted power source to the module if power is unexpectedly
interrupted while there is still cached data present. If the power failure is
the result of the MegaRAID controller itself failing, then the TBBU can be
moved to a new controller and the data recovered. The replacement
controller must have a cleared configuration.

Perform the following steps to replace a failed controller with data in the
transportable battery backup unit.

Step 1.

Power-down the system and drives.

Step 2.

Remove the failed controller from the system.

Step 3.

Remove the TBBU from the failed controller.

Step 4.

Insert the TBBU into the replacement controller.

Step 5.

Insert the replacement controller into the system.

Step 6.

Power-on the system.

The controller then reads the disk configuration into NVRAM
and flush cache data to the logical drives.
