Re: [smartmontools-support] smart monitoring tools for PMC -Sierra RAID controllers

[Sadasivan S. (shshaiju) <shs...@ci...>]

Hi  Christain,

I am using smart monitoring tools 6.4 .  when I  run  the  test  on  my  DISK    using   smatd  -q  onecheck    ,  I get  the  following  Error  message .    What  does  this   mean  ?

Device: /dev/sdu, opened SCSI device
Device: /dev/sdu, non-SMART asc,ascq: 94,1

Device: /dev/sdv, opened SCSI device
Device: /dev/sdv, non-SMART asc,ascq: 94,1


Does  this  mean  my  disk is  bad  .  actually  it  is  an  SSD  device.


Regards,
Shaiju.

There is support for Adaptec/PMC controllers behind the AACRAID driver on Linux and Windows.

See '-d aacraid' option on smartctl man page, and:
https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_RAID-Controllers

The original patches for smartmontools were provided by developers from
PMC-Sierra:
http://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/328
http://www.smartmontools.org/ticket/496

I don't know which specific controllers are supported.

Christian
