I have the machine off atm while I install new disks (18x ST32000542AS), but IIRC they appeared as transport errors (scsi.<something>.transport, I can paste the exact errors in a little bit). A slew of transfer/soft errors followed by the drive disappearing. I assume that my HBA took it offline, and mpt driver reported that to the OS as an admin disconnecting, not as a "failure" per se. > The open-source version of smartmontools seems to be slightly out > of date and somewhat finicky.

That SUNWhd I mentioned seemed interesting, but I assume licensing means I can only get that if I purchase SUn hardware. > Nice idea, except that the X4500 was EOL years ago and the replacement, > X4540, uses LSI HBAs.

Oops, forgot that the X4500s are actually kind of "old". I'll have to look up what LSI controllers the newer models are using (the LSI 2xx8 something IIRC? Will have to Google). --khd _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
