Disk smart status no longer working

Ahh I never followed up on this, I was mistaken when they all showed OK for smart status, once I looked a little harder it was still messed up, but the initial script worked for most of my drives. I'll update my post so people don't get mislead.

Let me know if my script alterations work for your setup if you get a chance

It did not work for me, I think because I have my drives in an odd order and spread between 3 different backplanes into 2 HBAs. I may just have to learn some more coding and write a script to decode the drive ID using ssacli or something like that. Or just manually assign them and use if then statements. Clunky, but should work ifnibdo it right.

I have the same setup. 3 backplanes with two HBAs

I did it all manually verifying where my drives and cciss were mapped and in the end I had to modify what you did and map it properly. I am not sure what I had been thinking before, I was just feeling my way through I guess. It is a bit hackish, but it'll work until I add more drives, then I'll have to expand them accordingly. So now it all works great, so thanks for your input!

Device map for me, just trial and error using the normal smartctl command. In the end I'll probably just map each drive.
Code: 
cciss    device
0    sda
1    sdb
2    sdc
0    sdd
1    sde
2    sdf
3    sdg

I used the ssacli to verify it, they are just 1 through X where the cciss value was just one less.

Code: 
 ssacli ctrl all show config
 ...
      physicaldrive 2I:3:1 (port 2I:box 3:bay 1, SAS SSD, 400 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 2I:3:2 (port 2I:box 3:bay 2, SAS SSD, 400 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 2I:3:3 (port 2I:box 3:bay 3, SAS HDD, 1.2 TB, OK)
...
      physicaldrive 2I:1:1 (port 2I:box 1:bay 1, SAS SSD, 800 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 2I:1:2 (port 2I:box 1:bay 2, SAS SSD, 800 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 2I:1:3 (port 2I:box 1:bay 3, SAS HDD, 4 TB, OK)
      physicaldrive 2I:1:4 (port 2I:box 1:bay 4, SAS HDD, 4 TB, OK)
 
Hi Every one.

I am also facing the problem showing Smart Status Unknown. And in my case its Proxmox version 6.4.4 on Dell Server with HW Raid Perc 330, and USB disk attached for Backup.

I got the same problem with a H240 @PVE 7.1.3

When will it be fixed?

It seems that the Proxmox have problem with the Dell's PERCH Driver. Only solution seems to bypass the HWRaid and use the ZFS Raid. In the BIOS there is an option to bypass the HWRaid. I am planning to replace the existing HDD with the Nvme SSD's. Will try bypassing mode for ZFS. But I fail to understand why the BUP seagate USB Drive SMART is showing unknown.

It is in HBA mode, there is no HWRaid active. in addition, the H240 is a HP card, not a Dell Perc. It doesn't rely on a LSI Chipset.

The code below works for my Dell Perc H730_mini RAID for /dev/sda (same as yours):
We only have /dev/sda-sdc so I changed char_index to a-c and changed device to megaraid.
The S.M.A.R.T. value now shows 'OK'.

Hope it works on your server.

Code: 
#!/bin/bash

SMARTCTL=/usr/sbin/smartctl.orig
OPTIONS=("$@")
 
# build up map
char_index=({a..c})
declare -A num_map
for((i=0; i < ${#char_index[*]}; ++i)); do
    num_map[${char_index[i]}]=$i
done
 
for((i=1; i<$#; ++i)); do
    device_letter="${OPTIONS[i]#/dev/sd}"
    # only proceed if the given device ends with [a-c]
    if [[ ! -z "${num_map[$device_letter]:-}" ]]; then
        mega_device="-d megaraid,${num_map[$device_letter]}"
        # add the "-d megaraid,X" option to the list of options
        OPTIONS=($mega_device "${OPTIONS[@]}")
    fi
done
 
exec $SMARTCTL "${OPTIONS[@]}"

Hello,
is there already a Statement from Proxmox if it is going to get fixed with next Release with HP H240 HBA ?

Greetings
 
I too have an HP DL360p and none of my drives show smart information. All the other steps you all have been through do not work for me either.
 
Also had this issue on Proxmox 7.2 .

The mentioned earlier first mentioned script also fixes up getting the SMART data for a P420i on DL380p Gen 8.
 
I just created a forum account to confirm this worked for my setup.
HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 LFF (Proxmox VE 7.2-7)
HP Smart Array P420i Controller
I had to force the controller into HBA mode using ssacli (couldn't get it done through the Smart Array configuration utility).
Both my WD Reds and WD Purple now display their S.M.A.R.T. value and status in the PVE WebGUI.

Thank you all for this thread, it helped me out a lot!

I have the same issue with my DL80 G9 and H240 card. I got the info to report by using someone's (Udo Rader) smartctl wrapper. Honestly, I only understand about half of how it works, but it basically just replaces smartctl and you can get at least one HBA working. For some reason it only works with my first H240, the other one still shows unknown. If someone is smarter or has more time/motivation to modify this to make it work better for us, please do and repost here! I got it deep in some forum post. Hope it helps someone! Obviously credit goes to Udo Rader, the instructions to implement are in there.

#  smartctl_cciss.sh
#
#  Wrapper that converts
#
#    '$ smartctl [...] /dev/sda' to '$ smartctl -d cciss,0 [...] /dev/sda'
#    '$ smartctl [...] /dev/sdb' to '$ smartctl -d cciss,1 [...] /dev/sdb'
#    '$ smartctl [...] /dev/sdc' to '$ smartctl -d cciss,2 [...] /dev/sdc'
#    ...
#    '$ smartctl [...] /dev/sdp' to '$ smartctl -d cciss,15 [...] /dev/sdp'
#
#  Per definition (see man smartctl(8)), the maximum number of devices
#  supported by the cciss driver is 15, so the /dev/sdp is the "highest"
#  device accepted (p=15).
#
#  This is useful for certain HP RAID/HBA controllers that expose the block
#  devices they control as /dev/sdX, but still require '-d cciss,N' to be
#  present when used with smartctl.
#
#  At the bottom line, this saves you the extra commandline switch  plus at
#  the same time allows other tools to read out the SMART values without any
#  further configuration on their side (eg. the proxmox admin interface
#  showing SMART values).
#
#  To wrap the original smartctl binary using this script, rename the script
#  to /usr/sbin/smartctl.orig and use this script as a replacement, eg like
#  this:
#
#  $ mv /usr/sbin/smartctl /usr/sbin/smartctl.orig
#  $ cp /path/of/the/downloaded_wrapper/smartctl_cciss.sh /usr/sbin/smartctl
#  $ chmod 755 /usr/sbin/smartctl
#
#  Later updates of the smartmontools package will probably overwrite the
#  wrapper, so what you can do to prevent this is to make the in place
#  wrapper immutable like this:
#
#  $ chattr +i /usr/sbin/smartctl
#
#  ... but this may have some sideffects afterwards (eg. updates might
#  complain that they cannot update the now immutable file).
#
#  This is a little bit hackish, but it does the job well enough for me :)
 
SMARTCTL=/usr/sbin/smartctl.orig
OPTIONS=("$@")
 
# build up map

declare -A num_map
for((i=0; i < ${#char_index[*]}; ++i)); do
    num_map[${char_index[i]}]=$i
done
 
for((i=1; i<$#; ++i)); do
    device_letter="${OPTIONS[i]#/dev/sd}"
    # only proceed if the given device ends with [a-p]
    if [[ ! -z "${num_map[$device_letter]:-}" ]]; then

        OPTIONS=($cciss_device "${OPTIONS[@]}")
    fi
done
 
exec $SMARTCTL "${OPTIONS[@]}"

I messed around and thought I got it working for all drives, but it didn't work. They looked like it, but it was just my tired confirmation bias thinking things worked.

Did you do this before or after you had data already on your drives? I already have TrueNAS set up and 6 drives with data.
 
I'm also having same issue. Proxmox 7.2-3 (buster) has no issues however latest install 7.3-6 shows UNKNOWN status for all drives. Using HP DL380p/360p G8 servers. smartctl --scan reveals nothing but statuses check OK.

what if you run pvesh get /nodes/<nodename>/disks/list --output-format json-pretty? Do you get a result when you click on Show S.M.A.R.T. values for a single disk in the UI? Does it still work if you don't provide the -d scsi switch for the smartctl command?
 
Fiona,

Thank you for the quick reply.

When I run pvesh get /nodes/<nodename>/disks/list --output-format json-pretty I get the following output:

Code:

   }
]

Showing SMART values in the UI gives error: Error getting S.M.A.R.T. data: Exit code: 1 (500)

Runnnig smartctl without the -d scsi gives: /dev/sdb: requires option '-d cciss,N'

I am not sure the value of N but running:
Code: 
smartctl -H /dev/sdb -d cciss,1
I get


=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===

Any ideas?
