Hi Folks,

I just changed the hardware of my NAS. I just try to monitor disk health status with smartmontools. But unlike my former hardware it does not work.

Anytime i do smartctl I get an error message like below. I have six disks installed. All the same.

Here is some configuration information:

The hardware:
The mainboard is an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe.
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 4400

The menu item "Serial ATA-Controller" is enabled.
The menu item "JMicron SATAII Controller" is disabled.


The operation system:
Option ? appliance
Option ? sysinfo
SunOS SMBNAS 5.11 NexentaOS_134f i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

Do I need to install anything else than the smartmontools? There is no according plugin at least. Does anybody has an idea why it does not work?

It sounded like you meant that the controller was enabled. SMART usually is a setting that is separate from the controller enable / disable setting.
 
I don't think so, but let me check. I assume it's set to IDE because I thaught AHCI is just for SSDs.
 
So, did the check.

There is acutally no SATA setting like that on the regular controller.
There is only an according setting to the JMicron RAID Controller.

So I enabled the controller set it to AHCI but doesn't change anything.
Would have been crazy if it did anyway since the disks are not connected to that controller ;)
 
Meanwhile the issues is solved.

smartctl -a /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0p4 -d scsi | grep -i 'Current Drive Temperature'

provides the needed information.
