How to get SMART information about local disks (no SmartArray) installed in ESXi host? It is HP DL G6 server, but without the HP Insight Suite.

Based on your earlier question, you are not using a standard Smart Array RAID controller. The device you have is a rebranded LSI SAS3442E-R controller. It's meant to be a SAS HBA, and not a hardware RAID controller in this context.

  • I'm sorry if my question was not clear enough, but I am not speaking about any HBAs or controllers, but "local" disks, that are attached to the internal SATA controller of the server. – John Apr 18 '12 at 13:55

    The internal SATA controller in your system is an HBA. It's not a proper RAID controller, so ESXi doesn't quite support the way you're using it. – ewwhite Apr 18 '12 at 14:06
