One possibility is to use smartctl to check the health of the individual drives:
smartctl -H -d megaraid,<N> /dev/sda where <N> is the device id returned by megacli: MegaCli64 -Pdlist -aAll | grep "Device Id”. You can use the same device name /dev/sda for all device ids. The command only considers the device id. Output will be something like: # smartctl -H -d megaraid,5 /dev/sda smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-3.10.0-327.28.3.el7.x86_64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-13, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org /dev/sda [megaraid_disk_05] [SAT]: Device open changed type from 'megaraid,5' to 'sat+megaraid,5' === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED Warning: This result is based on an Attribute check. Replace -H with -a for a more detailed analysis of the disk status. Don’t expect a 100% guarantee that smartctl will correctly predict failures.
