Topic

Updated smartmontools packages that fix various bugs and adds multiple
enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to
control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA and SCSI hard
disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk
degradation and failure.

The smartmontools package has been upgraded to version 5.42, which provides a
number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. This update also
features improved support of SATA disks on 3ware 9750 RAID controllers, improved
support of SSD devices, and a much larger database of supported devices.
(BZ#697235, BZ#698317)

In addition, this updated package addresses the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the format in which certain HP SAS (Serial Attached

SCSI) drives returned SMART data was not recognized by smartmontools and the
following error message "scsi response fails sanity test" was logged. With this
update, smartmontools now correctly recognizes the data and this error no longer
occurs. (BZ#784925)

All users of smartmontools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
