SMART module cant see disks on 3ware 9750 cards

Submitted by Linulex on Sat, 05/31/2014 - 04:49

3ware 9750 cards are read via a different device then the 9550 and 9650 cards. These 2 are read via /dev/twa, like this

/dev/twa0 -d 3ware,0 -H -m mail@example.com /dev/twa0 -d 3ware,1 -H -m mail@example.com

9750 cards have the device /dev/twl0

/dev/twl0 -d 3ware,0 -H -m mail@example.com /dev/twl0 -d 3ware,1 -H -m mail@example.com

The smart module only looks for /dev/twa once it found a 3ware card.

Thank you for the update. I have tested it and found that line 60 also needed an update.

    $d->{'model'} =~ /3ware|amcc/i) {

needs to be

    $d->{'model'} =~ /3ware|amcc|LSI/i) {

9750 are reported as being LSI

if its not updated the disk is

Status of drive /dev/sda ... Make and model LSI 9750-4i DISK

When changed, it is reported as

Status of drive /dev/twl0, disk 0

BUT i have no idea how lsi cards will respond to that, we dont have them so i cant test that.
