Issue Description: 
The following bugIds have been filed against the Raid Firmware of
RAID Manager 6.1.1 under the conditions described below:  

1. BugId# 4164090, Status GUI application encounters an unrecoverable 
   error.
 
Summary: The RM6.1.1 status window will show the progress of recon-
         struction and will eventually encounter an error from which 
         it never recovers. 
     
         Sample error message shown below:

         "An Error Occurred While Obtaining LUN information"

Once this error is encountered, the application must be restarted.

2. BugId# 4153015, RM6.1.1 didn't display temperature warning status  
   when temp fault LED turns on.

Summary: When an A1000 controller board reaches 45 degrees C the amber
         temperature fault LED on the controller board is activated.
         However, RM6.1.1 does not detect or display a temperature
         warning message on the host.

3. BugId# 4094014, RM6.1.1 hardware error A000 after power cycling A1000.

Summary:  The following error messages appear on the console after power-
          ing down an A1000(s) connected to a host system.
          * Actual error message will vary slightly.

4. BugId# 4023075 Health check does not detect battery failure & cache 
   not turned off.

Summary: RM6.1.1 Health Check does not detect battery failure or battery
         not present condition.  The problem can be reproduced by running
         Health Check while the battery cable internal to the battery FRU
         is not plugged in.  Health Check does not detect the battery FRU
         failure.  At the 10 minute interval controller polling time, the 
         battery failure will be detected and write cache will be turned
         off automatically.  But an un-recoverable write will be reported
         in the RAID Manager message log.

Implementation Footnote: 
________________________

i)   In case of MANDATORY FINs, Enterprise Services will attempt to contact   
     all affected customers to recommend implementation of the FIN. 
        

ii)  For CONTROLLED PROACTIVE FINs, Enterprise Services mission critical sup-   
     port teams will recommend implementation of the FIN (to their respective 
     accounts), at the convenience of the customer. 


iii) For REACTIVE FINs, Enterprise Services will implement the FIN as the need  
     arises.
