won't compile without docbook. But I think it won't work with the controller, anyway. I can get a reading with "mpt-status -i 1" for the RAID status (on both HP and Dell machines), but this doesn't include SMART (SMART as in Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, I think the "smart" in Smart Array refers to something different?).
Why are you interested in the SMART information?
The RAID controller should watch the SMART data and issue a warning if a drive is about to fail, possibly kicking in a hot spare.
