Anyone else seeing discharged NVRAM issues with 3240 filers?

We have three 3240AE filers which have ALL started logging 'NVRAM partially discharged' errors in the past two weeks (on both nodes, so six total). We've logged calls with Netapp who are still investigating but I've just heard from a friend at another company that a couple of his 3240 filers are now also reporting similar errors. We've tried upgrading firmware which didn't help and we've replaced one of the batteries which does resolve the issue. We're on ONTAP 8.01u5. This still means failing over each filer however and as we run Oracle over NFS that means potential disruption - far from ideal.

Anyone else seeing anything similar?

Regards,

Ed.
