smartctl works correctly:
[...]

It doesn't. It prints the SCSI/SAS inquiry instead of the ATA identify information. In release 5.38 auto-detection of SAT was only present in smartd but not in smartctl.

These messages suggest that smartd detects a SAT layer but the ATA IDENTIFY via the SAT pass-through command does not work properly:

Aug 30 17:58:12 crosrv07 smartd[6798]: Device /dev/cciss/c0d0 [cciss_disk_00]: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer.
[...]
Aug 30 17:58:12 crosrv07 smartd[6798]: Device: /dev/cciss/c0d0 [cciss_disk_00], ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE words 82-83 don't specify if SMART capable.

Meantime handling of controllers and auto-detection has considerably changed. Please try smartmontools 5.39.1 or even better current version from SVN.

If SAT auto-detection does not work with current version the following may help:

smartctl -d sat+cciss,0 -a /dev/cciss/c0d0

I don't know whether CCISS driver/firmware really provides the SAT pass-through support required to monitor SATA disks. If not, only SAS disks can be monitored.

Tried with the current version in debian, but smartd complains about knowing anything about the format "sat+cciss".
Can't install other version than this, because the machine is in a CSV environment.

Thank you very much for your help !

That's what somebody at HP told me in May 2007:

| SATA drive support behind a smart array controller can only be done on
| an MSA20 enclosure. It appears you can't get detailed SATA disk
| information from other smart array devices since the firmware support
| for the passthroughs isn't there yet.

This might have changed in newer drive firmware.

Replying to dariusski:

smartctl -d sat+cciss,0 -a /dev/cciss/c0d0

Worked for me on Linux x64 + cciss + X25-M G2 SSD.

Which controller model and firmware revision was used?
