Hello,  smartctl cannot be used to check status of data disks. The disks are not really attached to SLES, but to the Flare (EMC OE for block devices) container running on top of it. However, there is a suite of scripts available on the SPs. These can be seen by running svc_help on an SP. For disk status, there are mainly 2 scripts that can be useful:  1. For disk hardware status (can be different on each SP): svc_diag --state=spinfo 2. For backend's (Flare) view of the disks : svc_storagecheck -b  I would trust the status reported by the 2nd script over the first one.  Disks provided by EMC for specific hardware are only supposed to be used on the specified EMC hardware. Even a good disk may or may not work on 3rd party hardware.  Regards, Shardul
Hello, does anyone know how can I get smartctl status for failed disk ?  I login to ssh, and I dont see in /dev/ vnxe disks, where are they located ?   in df -h I see only some system disks: service@(none) spa:~> df -h Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2             5.0G  3.0G  1.7G  64% / tmpfs                 725M  2.8M  722M   1% /dev/shm udev                  469M  824K  468M   1% /dev /dev/sda4             4.1G  539M  3.4G  14% /cores /dev/tmpfs             32M   11M   22M  33% /tmp /dev/mirrora4          17G  1.5G   14G  10% /EMC/backend/service /dev/c4nasdba2       1019M   31M  937M   4% /EMC/backend/CEM /dev/c4nasdba1       1015M   38M  927M   4% /nbsnas /dev/c4loga2          653M   22M  599M   4% /EMC/backend/perf_stats /dev/c4loga1          3.4G  240M  3.0G   8% /EMC/backend/log_shared  However smartctl tool present in vnxe linux, I assume it suse.  And another question, if I install failed disk in some 3rd party server, for example in Dell, does Dell recognize it ?
