I had four arm64 server computers, and all of them do NOT have battery installed on motherboard.
I shutdown the power, and power on them several hours latter.
I found that I cannot login to my operation system (3 machines have the same issues), which was installed on a RAID-1 drive (SSD).
I tried, and I succeeded after I did the following steps:
1) installed the motherboard's battery
2) corrected the system time
3) delete the original raid-1 drive
4) recreated a new raid-1 drive on the same SSDs
5) reinstalled the OS.
I had found a fatal error message in storcli events. I appreciate if you could explain what does the fatal event mean. And what could cause the OS issue.
