There is an issue using smartctl on ESXi to monitor disks behind the RAID. Example:

smartctl -a /dev/disks/naa.6c81f660d2aeab001fd4153f9ba416c5 -d sat+megaraid,12

Smartctl open device: /dev/disks/naa.6c81f660d2aeab001fd4153f9ba416c5 [megaraid_disk_12] [SAT] failed: can't get bus number

I've compiled a static version of smartctl from updated sources (6.6 r4384) and the issue still exists. Because ESXi is different than a normal Linux distribution, I've tried to patch os_linux.cpp forcing linux_megaraid_device::open to use the right device:

  if ((m_fd = ::open("/dev/megaraid_sas_ioctl", O_RDWR)) >= 0) {
    m_hba = 1;  // ?
    pt_cmd = &linux_megaraid_device::megasas_cmd;
    set_fd(m_fd);
    return true; 
  }

After this patch, the device is opened but I get "INQUIRY FAILED"

On ESXi the MegaCli utility works right, so I think there are no issues with driver or ioctl support.

I can do any test that you want or apply a particular patch.

It's important for monitor disks behind RAID because the SMART indicators reported by controller are very poor.

Thank you. Simone

When installing from source tarball, "make install" overwrites an existing smartd.conf file without warning or creating a backup. If such a config file already exists, it should at least be renamed to something like smartd.conf.backup so the existing configuration doesn't get completely lost.

Reading the error logged in the drive crashes the computer. The NVMe drive can be found (again) only after power cycle.
