SMART tests with smartctl

SMART tests with smartctl

or 

rahul-Inspiron-3542 ~ # smartctl -i /dev/sda | grep 'SMART support is:'
SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED

To enable'

  smartctl -s on -d ata /dev/sda

 

 Run overall-health self-assessment test, enter:

 smartctl -d ata -H /dev/sda

 

 The following will provide even more information about failing hard disk: # smartctl --attributes --log=selftest /dev/sda

 

 You can read more data from hard disk by typing the following command: # smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda

 

Task: Extended self-test of drive

You need to begin an extended self-test of drive /dev/hdc. You can issue this command on a running system. The results can be seen in the self-test log visible with the '-l selftest' option after it has completed:
# smartctl -d ata -t long /dev/sdb




 

 

 

 

A note about RAID controller

To look at ATA disks behind 3ware SCSI RAID controllers, the syntax is:
# smartctl -a -d 3ware,2 /dev/sda
# smartctl -a -d 3ware,0 /dev/twe0



For adaptec check the o/p of lsscsci

 

 

SATA Health Check Disk Syntax

# smartctl -d sat --all /dev/sgX
# smartctl -d sat --all /dev/sg1
Run test:
# smartctl -d sat --all /dev/sg1 -H
For SAS disk use the following syntax:
# smartctl -d scsi --all /dev/sgX
# smartctl -d scsi --all /dev/sg1
# smartctl -d scsi --all /dev/sg1 -H

Replace /dev/sg1 with your disk number. If you've raid 10 array with 4 disks than:
  • /dev/sg0 - RAID 10 controller (you will not get any info or /dev/sg0).
  • /dev/sg1 - First disk in RAID 10 array.
  • /dev/sg2 - Second disk in RAID 10 array.
  • /dev/sg3 - Third disk in RAID 10 array.
  • /dev/sg4 - Fourth disk in RAID 10 array.
Another simple command to just check basic status is as follows:
# /usr/StorMan/arcconf getconfig 1 | grep State
# /usr/StorMan/arcconf getconfig 1 | grep -B 3 State
Sample outputs:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Device #0
         Device is a Hard drive
         State                              : Online

         S.M.A.R.T.                         : No
      Device #1
         Device is a Hard drive
         State                              : Online

         S.M.A.R.T.                         : No

RAID

Check the Raid installed lspci | grep RAID     Software Raid ============== Linux Support For Software RAID Currently, Linux supports the following RAID levels (quoting from the man page): LINEAR RAID0 (striping) RAID1 (mirroring) RAID4 RAID5 RAID6 RAID10 MULTIPATH, and FAULTY. MULTIPATH is not a Software RAID mechanism, but does involve multiple devices: each device is a path to one common physical storage device. FAULTY is also not true RAID, and it only involves one device. It provides a layer over a true device that can be used to inject faults. Install mdadm Type the following command under RHEL / CentOS / Fedora Linux: # yum install mdadm Type the following command under Debian / Ubuntu Linux: # apt-get update && apt-get install mdadm How Do I Create RAID1 Using mdadm? Type the following command to create RAID1 using /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1 (20GB size each). First run fdisk on /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd with " Softwa...
