SMART disk monitoring

[Lonni J Friedman]

Greetings,
I've got a new DL380 G6 with an embedded 420i Smart Array attached to 6 SATA disks, all running Linux. I'm trying to find some way to monitor the health of each disk with SMART, but I can't figure out how, as the individual disks are never exposed in any obvious way. I've got hpacucli installed, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't know how to query a disk's SMART characteristics. Is this possible? How is everyone else monitoring their disks under Linux?

thanks!

Hi,

Have you tried here?

It depends upon the version of Linux you're using. Use the Support Pack for your flavor of Linux or the Homepage agents provided will assist in monitoring all/some of the system components.

I don't think this package does anything with SMART. At least, I've installed it, and I see nothing SMART related, plus I can't find any documentation to accompany it. If you know of something specific in this package that can be used for SMART monitoring, let me know, and I'll be happy to give it a try.

thanks
