smartmontools.org supports the smartctl Command Line Tool of Smartmontoolsis primarily used to query SMART attributes of hard drives and SSDs.[1]
Recently, Alexander Shaduri released a graphical user interface for smartctl called as GSmartControl[2] available for Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X and Windows.
On Ubuntu, once you install and enable smartmontool the log files will be storea at /var/lib/smartmontools
Check RAID array list
can display which disks of the RAID controller are accessible.
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
smartctl over LSI array
smartctl provides integrated support for MegaRAID controller
sudo smartctl -a -d megaraid,N /dev/sdX
Where <N> stands for the device ID on the RAID controller. These can be displayed via the StorCLI (column DID).
sudo storcli /c0 /eall /sall show

Identify a defective hard drive
- Check "START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION" from smartctl. If the value Failed or UNKNOWN is displayed instead of the value PASSED, you should replace the hard drive as soon as possible
- Check "Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds", The following parameters can indicate an imminent hard drive failure before a SMART warning is displayed.
| Attribute name | Description |
|---|---|
| Reallocated_Sector_Ct | Specifies the number of sectors reassigned due to read errors. If a sector can no longer be read, written to or checked correctly, a replacement sector is automatically assigned to it. The faulty sector is permanently marked as unreadable. This is a clear warning sign for incipient surface problems. If this value is not equal to zero, a hard drive failure is often imminent. This value is the most important indicator for a hard drive replacement |
| Current_Pending_Sector_Ct | Specifies the number of unstable sectors waiting for remapping. If a sector cannot be read and written correctly, it first receives the status Current Pending Sector. The sector is not reassigned in this state, since the data in the sector are unknown. Only after several unsuccessful read or write attempts is a replacement sector assigned and the faulty sector is permanently marked as unreadable. The value Current_Pending_Sector_Ct is an important indicator for a hard drive replacement.
If this value is not equal to zero, a hard drive failure is often imminent |
| Offline_Uncorrectable | Specifies the number of uncorrectable write and read sector errors.
The last section deals with the internal hard drive log. Errors are recorded here if the server's work orders have not been processed correctly by the hard drive. If the number of errors in this section is at least two digits, you should replace the hard drive as soon as possible |
