As Eric says, you're not using the SCSI card for anything you NEED to
keep (thats what the battery is for - power failure happens, the card
remembers the data in its cache ready to write back out). If you're
only using the blades drives for VM, then you really dont care what
happens to it.. Well, not much anyway :)
