How to Check HPE 3PAR Battery Status

January 24, 2018

To check the HPE 3PAR battery status, log in to your HPE 3PAR system using any SSH client like PuTTY etc. and then execute the showbattery command to check the status of the batteries. The default username and password are 3paradm and 3pardata for HPE 3PAR systems. I have performed the below commands on HPE 3PAR 7400.

Run showbattery command

3PAR-7400 cli% showbattery
Node PS Bat Assy_Serial    -State- ChrgLvl(%) -ExpDate- Expired Testing

 0,1  1   0 6CQUBA3HN8M86W OK             100 n/a       No      No

For detailed information execute the showbattery -d command

3PAR-7400 cli% showbattery -d
