I could only find the following details below
Problem
System Manager on an IBM/Avaya S8800 reponding very slow and not able to web browse to system manager admin web page.
Applies to IBM/Avaya S8800 Servers running System Manager with RAID Batteries
Solution
Affected site was unable to browse to the admin web page, the page would not load at all preventing in any admin work being done from the Web browser/ dashboard. On closer investiagtion I found that the RAID battery needed replacing on the server.
To check the status of the existing battery run the following two commands which will need to be done from the command line at root level on the system platform DOM0, system domain
First command.
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -LDInfo -Lall -a0 | more
Will show something like below:
Adapter 0 -- Virtual Drive Information:

Default Cache Policy: WriteBack, ReadAdaptive, Direct, No Write Cache if Bad BBU
Current Cache Policy: WriteThrough, ReadAdaptive, Direct, No Write Cache if Bad BBU ( see chart below)
Access Policy: Read/Write
Disk Cache Policy: Disk's Default ( see chart below)
***********************************************
You will see that the Current Cache Policy is in WriteThrough mode and this indicates a bad battery

2nd command is:
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -adpbbucmd -a0 | more
