The command should return: = START OF ENABLE/DISABLE COMMANDS SECTION = -S on: This enables “autosave of device vendor-specific Attributes”.Normally, the disk will suspend offline testing while disk accesses are taking place, and then automatically resume it when the disk would otherwise be idle, so in practice it has little effect. Theoretically this could have a performance impact. Offline data collection periodically updates certain S.M.A.R.T. -o on: This turns on offline data collection.support or does nothing if it’s already enabled. $ sudo smartctl -s on -o on -S on /dev/sda Now that smartctl can access the drive, let’s turn on some features. SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability. Model Family: SAMSUNG SpinPoint T133 seriesĭevice is: In smartctl database This should print information similar to: = START OF INFORMATION SECTION = Note that if you need -d here, you will need to add it to all smartctl commands. See the smartctl man page for more information. Where TYPE is usually one of ata, scsi, or sat (for serial ata). If this command fails, you may need to let smartctl know what type of hard drive interface you’re using: If there’s only one hard drive in the system, it should be /dev/sda or /dev/hda. Replace /dev/sda with your hard drive’s device file in this command and all subsequent commands. Smartmontools comes with two programs: smartctl which is meant for interactive use and smartd which continuously monitors S.M.A.R.T. $ sudo yum install smartmontools Capabilities and Initial Tests Obviously, nothing replaces regular backups.Ī good source for more information is the S.M.A.R.T. A quick summary: certain events greatly increase the chance of hard drive failure including reallocation events and failed self-tests, but only about 60% of the drives that failed in the study had any negative S.M.A.R.T. The best source of research that I found is a paper from Google that describes an internal study of hard drive failure. There is some amount of conflicting information on the internet about how reliable the warnings are. may give you enough of a warning that you can safely backup all your data before your hard drive dies. Although smartmontools runs on a number of platforms, I will only cover installing and configuring it on Linux.īasically, S.M.A.R.T. attributes and run hard drive self-tests. smartmontools is a free software package that can monitor S.M.A.R.T. is a system in modern hard drives designed to report conditions that may indicate impending failure. Output from one server, two controllers inside: 5e:00.0 RAID bus controller: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID Tri-Mode SAS3508 (rev 01)ĭ8:00.0 RAID bus controller: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS-3 3108 (rev 02) Let me check lspci output, but I barely remember that even PERC’s are showing as MegaRAID card, but I will check. And monitored servers are in USA, UAE, Czech, Finland, etc over MPLS every location in different network, inside VPN tunnels, some server so stuck on prem that iptables dnat is done via two servers to get network from servers to its corresponding satellite. Main instance in Germany, then few satellites around country. If your monitoring server stands inside the out of bound management network for your iDRAC/iLO controllers then there should be no firewall involved.

We have some servers with PERC730P, H840. Well, I know that PERC are DELL controllers. The original Dell controllers are not MegaRAID or? If these are third party controller then you don’t see it over iDRAC.
