## Checking the SMART status of a disk
21+
To check the SMART status of a disk connected to a DELL PERC H700/H710/H730/H730P RAID controller, you can use the `smartctl` tool.
22+
23+
1. Install the required packages:
24+
```sh
25+
apt-get update && apt-get -y install megaclisas-status megacli && megaclisas-status
26+
```
27+
2. Run the following command to check the SMART status of all disks:
28+
```sh
29+
DEVICE=/dev/sda
30+
for i in $(megacli -pdlist -a0 | grep Id | cut -d":" -f2); do
31+
echo "============================== $i =============================="
32+
smartctl -s on -a -d megaraid,${i} ${DEVICE} -T permissive
33+
done
34+
```
35+
3. *(Optional)* To get more information about a specific disk, you can use the following command:
36+
```sh
37+
smartctl -d megaraid,0 -i /dev/sda
38+
smartctl -d megaraid,1 -i /dev/sda
39+
```
40+
