Linux Use smartctl To Check Disk Behind Adaptec RAID Controllers

by

To check the health status of disks behind Adaptec RAID controllers in Linux, you can use the smartctl utility. Here’s how:

  1. Install the smartmontools package, if it’s not already installed, by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install smartmontools (for Debian-based systems)

or

sudo yum install smartmontools (for Red Hat-based systems)
  1. Find the device file for the disk behind the Adaptec RAID controller by running the following command:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/
  1. Use the device file to run the smartctl command, for example:
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb
  1. The output of the smartctl command will display the health status of the disk, including the overall health status, temperature, and any reported errors or failures.

Note: The exact device file name may vary depending on your setup. The /dev/sdb in the above example is just an example, and you should use the actual device file name for your disk.
