Viewing SMART Data About a Drive
You can view SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting
Technology) data about a SATA drive to help troubleshoot problems that
occur. SMART data is available on all SATA disk drives (unit members,
Single Disks, and Hot Spares). Although SAS drives are monitored, the data
for them is not displayed.
You can also set self-tests that will check the SMART attributes and post
messages to the Alarms page when they are exceeded. For more information,
see “Selecting Self-tests to be Performed” on page 168.
To view SMART data
1 Choose Information >> Drive Information from the menu bar.
2 On the Drive Information page, click the port number for the drive you
are interested in.
A window showing details of the SMART data opens. The data is shown
as hex values.
Only SMART data for SATA drives is displayed.
