SMART disk data on windows
Hello,
I am trying and failing to get the SMART disk stats on Windows 13g and 14g Dell servers.
Smartctl.exe (part of smartmontools https://www.smartmontools.org/) works well on Linux but I am having issues getting it working on Windows. I can't seem to get the correct disk targets.
PercCLI.exe works but gives a byte array which I don't know how to parse yet. An example command is "perccli64.exe /c0/e64/s0 show smart"
idrac9 with Datacenter idrac license can create a SMART data report (https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/common/dell-emc-idrac9-telemetry-streaming-storage-report.pdf). I only have Enterprise license and need it to work on 13g (idrac8) so this is not an option.
TSRs from the idrac9 and possibly others have SMART stats but a TSR is super heavy handed and I don't know if calling a TSR on the fly is possible.
Does anyone know how to get SMART stats for disks on a Winodows 13g and 14g Dell server?

I missed a perccli parameter. I am only after PowerOnHours and perccli provides this with "perccli64.exe /call/eall/sall show poh ignoreselftest". I wish perccli gave more of the SMART stats but I am satisfied with PowerOnHours for now.

Hello Charles R,
I am looking for the actual SMART stats like PowerOnHours and not a drives predictive failure.
Try "perccli /c0/e32/s4 show smart" and look at the byte array after "Smart Data Info /c0/e32/s4 =". This contains the actual SMART stats which I am trying to decode.

Hello nadogmoney,
Give this PERCCLI command a try:
perccli /c0/e32/s4 show all
In the results it displays:
S.M.A.R.T alert flagged by drive = No
