SMART tests and MegaRAID revisited

Hey folks, I am trying to get MAAS and SMART to identify and run SMART tests on a MegaRAID controller in MAAS 2.9.2, but not getting anywhere.

I’m using the smartctl-validate test on /dev/sda but it skips it with the following message:

INFO: Veriying SMART support for the following drive: /dev/sda
INFO: Running command: sudo -n smartctl --all /dev/sda
INFO: Unable to run test. The following drive does not support SMART: /dev/sda

I have ensured that the MegaRAID tool StorCLI is installed before the tests run (see commissioning script below). I have also verified that SMART is able to correctly identify /dev/sda if I keep the commissioned node on and run smartctl -d megaraid,0 /dev/sda -i (see output below).

I see that the smartctl.py testing scripts has support for MegaRAID which was introduced in 2.5.0 and also mentioned previously in Running SMART tests against MegaRAID controllers

What am I doing wrong here?

Output from commissioning script 00-install-storcli to confirm StorCLI is working:

@szeestraten, i don’t have an answer on the tip of my tongue, but did you ever get this figured out?
