RE: [CentOS] smartd on RAID controllers?

/dev/sda is the virtual disk as it appears to CentOS as I can access it with hdparm. Do I need to use another device for the RAID array (which?) or is it impossible to smart monitor "thru" a RAID controller?

Shouldn't there be another "layer" ?

Is this a real hardware raid controller?

I do not remember the specifics, yet when we did this on HP proliant boxes with hardware raid, we had to play with the config files and setup for the raid *drivers* so to speak

On old boxes with raid5 we would be monitoring something like

/dev/ida/c0d0

And on newer boxes with raid1 or raid5 we would be monitoring something like

/dev/cciss/c0d0
