MD3000i: Proper syntax to Reset battery from Command Line

By default the directory you will need to run the command from is:

C:/Program Files/Dell/MDStoragemanager/Client/SMcLi.exe

You are right in the command but I went ahead and listed it below.

reset storageArray batteryInstallDate controller=(0 | 1)

Let me know how is goes for you.

Thanks for the help. This didn't work though.  

Here is the output I got:

C:\Program Files\Dell\MD Storage Manager\client>SMcli.exe reset storageArray bat

eryInstallDate controller=1

Unknown or unresponsive address (hostname or IP address): reset: reset. Either

try another address or correct the problem causing the unresponsive address.

If you entered two addresses, you may have to enter only the responsive address

to allow the command(s) to work.

SMcli

       [ ]

       [-c ";[ ;...]"]

       [-n | -w ]

       [-o ] [-p ] [-e] [-S] [-quick]

SMcli

       [ ]

       [-f ]

       [-n | -w ]

       [-o ] [-p ] [-e] [-S] [-quick]

SMcli {-n | -w }

       [-c ";[ ;...]"]

       [-o ] [-p ] [-e] [-S] [-quick]

SMcli {-n | -w }

       [-f ]

       [-o ] [-p ] [-e] [-S] [-quick]

SMcli -d [-i] [-s] [-w] [-v] [-S]

SMcli -A [ [ip address2]] [-S]

SMcli -X (-n | -w | -h )

SMcli -m -F [-g ] [-S]

SMcli -x email:

       [ [ ]]

       [-n | -w WWID | -h | -r (direct_sa | host_sa)]}

       [-S]

SMcli -a email:

       [ [ ]]

       [-n | -w | -h | -r (direct_sa | host_sa)]}

       [-I ] [-q ] [-S]

SMcli {-a | -x} trap: ,

       [ [ ]]

       [-n | -w | -h | -r (direct_sa | host_sa)}

       [-S]

SMcli -?

For additional information, refer to your Command Line Interface documentation

SMcli failed.

I know this post is old but I just came a crossed it and I suppose someone else may as well. You need to specify what device the command is intended to be run against like this: smcli -n -c " ;"

IE: smcli -n SAN4 -c "reset storageArray bateryInstallDate controller=1;"

You can also run the command using the IP address but you'd need to include another switch.

IE: smcli 10.2.0.248 -S -c "reset storageArray bateryInstallDate controller=1;"

Sorry to necro this post, but an easy way to execute scripts on any Dell MD system is to have the Modular disk storage manager program installed, add your array to that program, right click your array and click "Execute Script"

This opens a nice tool that you can simply type your CLI commands into and also verify their syntax before executing.
