Issue

  • Shutdown occurred on node due to battery.low:ALERT: Call home for BATTERY_LOW.

system log:

Jul 03 17:35:27 [localhost:nvmem.battery.voltageLow:EMERGENCY]: The NVMEM battery voltage is critically low (5400 mV). To prevent data loss, the system will shut down in 5 minutes.
Jul 03 17:35:28 [localhost:nvmem.battery.capLowCrit:EMERGENCY]: The NVMEM battery capacity is critically low (0 cycles). To prevent data loss, the system will shut down in 20 minutes.
Jul 03 17:35:29 Power outage protection flash de-staging: 0 cycles

WARNING:  The battery is experiencing a critical failure:
- Battery voltage is in critical state
Without a working battery, the system cannot retain data
during a power outage, which can result in data loss.
Power down the system and verify that the battery is
properly installed.
To ignore this failure and boot the system in a mode
where data loss might occur, press 'c' followed by 'Enter'
Jul 03 17:35:57 [localhost:callhome.battery.failure:EMERGENCY]: Call home for BATTERY (voltage critical low) CRITICAL.
Jul 03 17:35:57 [localhost:callhome.battery.failure:EMERGENCY]: Call home for BATTERY (remaining destage cycle is zero) CRITICAL.

WARNING:  The battery is unfit to retain data during a power
outage.  This is likely because the battery is
discharged but could be due to other temporary
conditions.
When the battery is ready, the boot process will
complete and services will be engaged.
To override this delay, press 'c' followed by 'Enter'

CAUTION: Using this appliance without NVRAM
battery backup coupled with a power
failure condition CAN CAUSE DATA LOSS.
Are you sure you want to continue (y or n)? y
Proceeding without NVRAM battery backup.
