+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #447978 +++ Escalated to Bugzilla from IssueTracker -- Additional comment from tao on 2008-05-22 14:36 EST -- Description of problem: The smartmontools package (v 5.36-3.1.el5) contained in RH5.1 seems to have CCISS added to it. However, it doesn't work well across ProLiants. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: The smartmontools package (v 5.36-3.1.el5) contained in RH5.1 seems to have CCISS added to it. However, it doesn't work well across ProLiants. For example: [root@localhost ~]# smartctl -d cciss,0 -i /dev/cciss/c0d0 smartctl version 5.37 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Device: HP P400 Version: 4.10 >> Terminate command early due to bad response to IEC mode page A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. Could you update the "smartmontools" package in RH5 U1. When you include a later release of "smartmontools", could you confirm that the "CHANGELOG" file lists the following changes. We have found that when the following changes are present, then that release of "smartmontools" works well with CCISS: -------------------------------- [root@linux sm5]# cat CHANGELOG | grep -i cciss [GG] cciss: support more than 16 disks (patch taken from http://cciss.sourceforge.net/smartmontools_cciss_more_than_16_drives.patch [SS] CCISS physical drive enumeration method changed (incompatibly). [SS] Support CCISS on FreeBSD (kernel source is required). [CF] Applied Guido's patch to fix CCISS LUN array bounds check [CF] Linux: Added check for <linux/cciss_ioctl.h> to allow build (without CCISS support) also when this file is missing. [GG] Add CCISS (Compaq Smart Array Controller) support with contributions [root@localhost sm5]# ./smartctl -d cciss,0 -i /dev/cciss/c0d0 smartctl version 5.38 [x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-7 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Device: HP DG072A8B54 Version: HPD7 Serial number: 3LB04B1T00007543ZMTH Device type: disk Transport protocol: SAS Local Time is: Tue Dec 11 02:29:45 2007 EST Device supports SMART and is Enabled Temperature Warning Enabled ----------------------------- NOTE: The v5.37 release is not sufficient (See the CHANGELOG file for that release). We took a snapshot of the CVS repository for v5.38 (as specified in the smartmontools.spec file) from the smartmontools sourceforge website. Our snapshot was taken in Sep 2007. It has v 1.633 of the CHANGELOG file: http://smartmontools.cvs.sourceforge.net/smartmontools/sm5/CHANGELOG?revision=1.633&view=markup This event sent from IssueTracker by tdunnon [SEG - Storage] issue 145386
