not able to pull stats from drives attached to areca 1680 controllers

Description
I have sata & sas drives attached to areca 1680ix controllers and am not able to pull any data from the drives. I used to have sata drives attached to areca 1280ml's when on those I was able to. Seems the program 1) does not recognize the newer 1.47 firmware and 2) can't pull data from the controller. This is being run under ubuntu 8.04.3 64bit.
I would be willing to test any non destructive patches if you do not have access to an areca 1680ix controller.

Sorry, I have just seen the other correspondence on the smartmontools mailing list. The problem is that SAS drives are not supported. So what needs to be done in the short term is to clean up the error messages, so they say 'SAS drives not currently supported'. I'll take care of this. In the longer term, passing SCSI commands over the interface would be the right approach.

For information, yes, the problem happens on V1.46 and V1.47 firmware for the card. As for not supporting SAS drives for smart data polling that should be looked into, however this also happens with SATA drives so no drives when attached to the ARC-1680ix provide smart data.

Hello,
Also on a 1680 here with recent firmware and SATA drives.

From areca support: there is no support for sas and sata drives for sas controllers with smartmontools, there is no support for smart with areca's CLI and there is no confirmed schedule yet about both.

These controllers reportedly do not provide the required pass through support (see previous comment).

A patch for SATA drives behind Areca SAS controllers was provided by Areca (Linux: r3540, FreeBSD: r3542). This was also included in the Areca patch for Windows (ticket #175).
Please test current smartctl version from SVN with SATA drives behind a 1680 controller with recent firmware (N=channel or slot, E=enclosure):
smartctl -x -d areca,N/E /dev/sgX
Please note that SAS drives are still not supported.

Unfortunatly I no longer have the ARC1680 cards (the solution had to be scrapped due to this issue and the client couldn't wait for a fix). Hopefully someone else who's watching this issue can test/respond?
comment:14 by , 12 years ago
Info from Areca: Access to SATA drives behind Areca SAS controllers works with firmware 1.51 (will be released soon) or a recent beta version.

I will try and reproduce this. If I can reproduce I will work with Oliver Bock to fix it.
Since I don't have identical hardware (no SAS disks) could stevecs possibly carry out one test? Namely see if the problem persists with the *earlier* 1.46 firmware version.
