SMART errors with Megaraid

[DanielDrucker]

Every day since installing, I get this error:

This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on:

host name: sam
DNS domain: mclean.harvard.edu

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Device: /dev/bus/0 [megaraid_disk_11], Read SMART Self-Test Log Failed

Device info:
[HITACHI H106060SDSUN600G A3D0], lu id: 0x5000cca03c51d8ec, S/N: 001245PG0DND PZHG0DND, 600 GB

For details see host's SYSLOG.

You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.
The original message about this issue was sent at Fri May 24 15:35:48 2019 EDT
Another message will be sent in 24 hours if the problem persists.

But MegaCli64 begs to differ:

root@sam:~# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -CfgDsply -aALL -nolog|grep ^State
State : Optimal
State : Optimal


It appears SMART isn't supported?

root@sam:~# smartctl -a /dev/sdb -d megaraid,22
smartctl 6.6 2016-05-31 r4324 [x86_64-linux-4.15.18-12-pve] (local build)

So, what is the right thing to do here?

 

[dcsapak]

you can change the devices which are scanned by smartd in /etc/smartd.conf (this file is self-documented)
or you can disable smartd via systemd completely

For my own, and others' future reference:

First, I checked what devices I'll need to use:

root@sam:~# storcli /c0 /eall /sall show
CLI Version = 007.0813.0000.0000 Dec 14, 2018
Operating system = Linux 4.15.18-12-pve

Status = Success
Description = Show Drive Information Succeeded.

The column I need is 'DID', which is column 2 of each of the lines that starts with 22:.
Now I generate the lines I'm going to put into smartd.conf:

root@sam:~# for i in $(storcli /c0 /eall /sall show | grep "^22"|awk '{print $2}'); do echo "/dev/sda -a -d megaraid,$i -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner"; done
/dev/sda -a -d megaraid,24 -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
/dev/sda -a -d megaraid,25 -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner

/dev/sda -a -d megaraid,21 -m root -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner


I commented out the DEVICESCAN line, and added those instead.
