[smartmontools-support] smartd service failure

[Chuck N. - C. <CA...@DJ...>]

To whom it may concern,

We have just loaded Unbreakable Linux 4 on a new HP Proliant DL360
Server. The server has a HP Smart Array Raid controller that is
recognized as a CCISS drive in Linux. From the get go, and after doing
all ULN required updates, this service on start was failing, smartd.
After doing some research it look like version of smartmontools that
came packaged with our version of the Unbreakable Linux 4 is version
5.33 . I checked your Homepage (http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/)
and it looks like the more recent version of this package, smartmontools
v.5.37 supports this CCISS (Compaq Smart Array Controller) for Linux and
was added 2006-10-09. Long story short, it looks like we may need to
upgrade this package, from 5.33 to 5.37, and I was wondering if anyone
has any details on obtaining this package or any other suggestions on
getting this smartd service to work?=20

Thanks for your help and time in advance.

Chuck
