I hit exactly the same experience – both BBUs down. Sadly that I didnt found this post earlier but thats the life.
I will summarize the situation:
1. Every new/replaced/refurbished BBU comes with FW 02.08.0016 (see 2* why)
2. FW 02.08.0016 have these “features”
– * the only working with XtremIO monitoring system
– 4 years timebomb (actually 48 Months and 20 days)
– you can find the remaining days with Eaton SetUPS tool, menu Reports
– you can reset the timer in any of three ways:
= * reflash 02.08.0016
= @02.08.0016 _AND_ Active-Alarm – fully shutdown/disconnect and reconnect/start BBU
= upgrade to latest FW (3.18 will not reset timer) _AND_ Active-Alarm – just hit [Ok] on just warning on the BBU screen. Then downgrade (SetUPS 2.1) to 02.08.0016

UltraSummarize:
So every new/replaced/refurbished BBU comes with (reflashed) 02.08.0016 because it resets timer and it is the only FW working with XtremIO monitoring.

Bad experience:
If two BBUs came with close “manufacturing” date of flash then you appear with both two BBUs alarmed and later shut down. And as you know, with standard procedure, you cant replace one BBU when both of these are in alarm state – “please replace first another BBU” misunderstanding. You shoud replace manual one BBU (very risky) and then replace second by standard procedure.

Good experience:
If the XtremIO cluster is shut down you can freely reflash 02.08.0016 to reset timer and/or replace battery only. This should be possible (very risky) with started cluster but BBUs one by one.

Comment on Tightening the handle on an Electrolux built-in microwave by Your Mom https://www.ispcolohost.com/2020/05/25/tightening-the-handle-on-an-electrolux-built-in-microwave/#comment-140909 Wed, 27 Sep 2023 16:58:19 +0000 https://www.ispcolohost.com/?p=1697#comment-140909 In reply to Jonathan.

I don’t know of a way to remove that panel; that’s why I had to drill a hole into it. I think to get a lost screw out of it you’d probably need to take the whole door off and tip it upside down to get the screw to come back out the hole you created. You could try using a strong magnet to get it to the hole easily. Or, just leave the screw in there and put a new one in; that’s probably what I’d do, you’ll never hear it down in there anyway.

I also have a similar issue, but the handle came off and the screws dropped inside the panel.
Appreciate your help.

Thank you. It worked.

Is there a specific command to do a secure wipe ?
All disks at the same time or one disk at a time ?

Comment on Fix for EMC XtremIO complete failure due to Eaton BBU / UPS issues by Chuck Norris https://www.ispcolohost.com/2019/03/13/fix-for-emc-xtremio-complete-failure-due-to-eaton-bbu-ups-issues/#comment-139881 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 09:53:39 +0000 http://www.ispcolohost.com/?p=1637#comment-139881 Hi,
Thank you for the post, i was able a few years ago to restart an xtremio and retrieve data.
I saved the firmware 26, if you want to add it in your post, just send me a link and i will upload it.
This time we will change the battery pack inside the BBU’s.
I will reset counter after Battery change.
This will save our Lab XtremIO :)

Regards

You have to use version 2.1 build 0822 of their upgrade utility; the later version 2.5 and beyond have version validation that does not allow you to downgrade. Version 2.1 just blindly installs whatever you tell it to.

I’ve had five or six of these fail over the past few years and have never had any recover with a power cycle; the same error just immediately returns.

But I would like to know why do you suggest to replace the failed HS with new one instead of trying to reboot the failed HSM? Does the error message ´Module has failed´ mean that the system needs to be replaced? I have tried rebooting the device and it worked fine but failed again after 2 months. Could you please me know the reason for such failure?

BTW, when I called Electrolux they indeed quoted me ~$800 for a new door…and then informed me the door is not even available in stock anyway.
Also, word to the wise: the front of my 5 1/2 y.o. oven is ~22″ in height, whereas the phone agent said comparable Electrolux replacement ovens (which cost over $2000) are only ~19″ high…so wouldn’t even fit the space properly anyway. Now I just hope this oven lasts longer than us in this house!

How did you downgrade it back to 02.08.0016?
