Viewing SMART Data About a Drive
You can view SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data about a SATA drive to help troubleshoot problems that occur. SMART data is available on all SATA disk drives (unit members, Single Disks, and Hot Spares). Although SAS drives are monitored, the data for them is not displayed.
You can also set self-tests that will check the SMART attributes and post messages to the Alarms page when they are exceeded. For more information, see Selecting Self-tests to be Performed.
To view SMART data

1 | Choose Information >> Drive Information from the menu bar.

2 | On the Drive Information page, click the port number for the drive you are interested in.

A window showing details of the SMART data opens. The data is shown as hex values.
Only SMART data for SATA drives is displayed.
