Status
To read smart status of hard disks attached to a 3ware raid controller, the -d 3ware,N flag needs to be passed, where N is the disk number. An example from gourd: smartctl -a -d 3ware,5 /dev/twe0
/dev/twe0 indicates the first 3ware 6/7/8000-series controller.
Testing
To test a hard disk, use smartctl -t <test> /dev/?d?. Valid tests for most drives are short (~2 minutes) and long (10's of minutes).
To view the results of the test, use smartctl -l selftest /dev/?d?.
