We're running in JBOD setup (60 drives per host) - Dell Server, Win2008 R2, HBA SAS LSI 3000 series 1068E.
Our other utilities can detect all the drives but I wanted to explore smartmon.
See attached smartd.conf.
Also, is there any syntax to display all possible info for SATA and SAS? I am still going through the changelist but appreciate if there is one available already.
Thanks in advance

This is a limitation of pseudo device names sdX and smartd DEVICESCAN.
Please use device names pdN (N=0...255) instead.
If the controller firmware provides a SAT conforming INQUIRY result, the following should work to display all possible info for the last drive regardless of device type
smartctl -x -d sat,auto pd59
The following smartd.conf should work to monitor all drives:
DEFAULT -d sat,auto -d removable [...more directives] pd0 pd1 ... pd59
Both -d sat,auto and DEFAULT require at least smartmontools 5.43. Please test new smartmontools 6.0 if possible.

Do the examples from last comment work for you?
Such limits are platform and controller specific.
Please describe your use case (Platform, RAID-Controller, smartd.conf).
