TLDR;
Does anyone know if smartctl can query disks in a DAS (D2600)?
Internal disks can be read fine, but I can't figure out how to query the external drives with smartctl.
DETAILS:
I've used smartctl to occassional check on some server drives, and it seems to work well. Here are the commands used:
# smartctl -H -d cciss,0 /dev/cciss/c0d0
# smartctl -H -d cciss,1 /dev/cciss/c0d1
# smartctl -H -d cciss,2 /dev/cciss/c0d2
# smartctl -H -d cciss,3 /dev/cciss/c0d3
Example output:
smartctl 6.0 2012-10-10 r3643 [x86_64-linux-3.0.76-0.11-default] (SUSE RPM)

=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART STATUS RETURN: incomplete response, ATA output registers missing
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
Warning: This result is based on an Attribute check.
I've also got smartd.conf setup to do a short test each evening on the older servers.
My issue is that I can't get smartctl to query the disks in the external array housed in a D2600.
hpacucli below shows the disk layout. Array A and B are internal and work fine as mentioned above. Arrays, C and D are the problem.

For the external D2600 housed drives I have tried specifying a different controller number, as folows:
# smartctl -H -d cciss,0 /dev/cciss/c1d0
smartctl 6.0 2012-10-10 r3643 [x86_64-linux-3.0.76-0.11-default] (SUSE RPM)

Does anyone know if smartctl can query disks in a DAS (D2600)?
