individual disk S.M.A.R.T. values from (P410) SmartArray controller?

individual disk S.M.A.R.T. values from (P410) SmartArray controller?

Is there any way to get the S.M.A.R.T. data from the individual physical disks (that are part of a RAID array) on a SmartArray controller?
I've looked at the output from the ACU and the CLI version but they generate an enormous amount of data and I'm not sure where to look for the S.M.A.R.T. information (if it is even included).

Use ADU to see the SMART related data (for SMART enabled drives) for each physical disk drive.

The System Management Homepage.

The SMH is your best freind.
The ACU will tell you if a drive is failed. But it won't tell you if a drive is degraded.

The SMH tel you strait away, and you can see all statistics, in a nice and easy way.

Boot from a linux live cd that supports the smartmontools. I think parted magic will work. Do something like;

smartctl -d cciss,0 -a /dev/cciss/c0d0

To get the smart statistics from a drive.

(Now I'm not 100% sure if the P410 also uses the cciss driver)

Really?

Which versions of ACU and SMH are you referring to?

ADU Version 8.10.3.0
Diagnostic Module Version 4.9-85
Time Generated Monday February 01, 2010 11:54:25PM

Device Summary:
Smart Array 5i in slot 0
Smart Array 6400 in slot 3
Smart Array 6400 EM in slot 3b

Consolidated Error Report:

Controller: Smart Array 6400 in slot 3
Device: Physical Drive 1:2
Message: The data on the physical drive is being rebuilt.
Controller: Smart Array 6400 in slot 3
Device: Logical Drive 1
Message: The array controller is rebuilding this logical drive

This ADU report indicates degraded physical and logical drive status.

SMH does not tell you ALL of the available SMART data from the drive error log like the Array Diagnostic Utility does. Some of the information is omitted in SMH for brevity/clarity.

Maybe I misunderstood your response? Yes SMH provides SMART data, but IMHO ADU provides ALL of the SMART data and then some.

I'm on Windows 2008 R2 so I do not have the Array Diagnostic Utility but I can generate a very detailed diagnostic report from within the Array Configuration Utility (v 8.40.4.0) (see attached).

Can anyone please point me to the S.M.A.R.T. values for my drives in this report, for example the number of starts for a disk or the reallocated sector count?
