So how do I get the SMART parameters for SAS drives ?
In general, I checked the version of PERCCLi 7.1020.0.0, they have just added capability SMART data for SAS drives to "show smart" command in it's release notes. Try that version if it's possible for your server.
I upgraded my perccli to latest version and it does show success for SAS drives as well.
./perccli /c0 /e32 /s0 show smart CLI Version = 007.1020.0000.0000 July 1, 2019 Operating system = VMkernel 6.5.0 Controller = 0 Status = Success Description = Show Drive Smart Info Succeeded.
Unfortunately, I can't find any documentation to provide an answer to your request on the data output. Perhaps you can try other command available in PERCCLi : https://dell.to/3d378bn to check if it is able to list the information that you need.
The smartctl utility on Linux can view SMART info of disks behind Megaraid controller and Dell PERC is also supported. Suppose the disk on slot 5 is a part of the virtual disk that shows as /dev/sdc in the system:

This download is for VMWare PERCCli: https://dell.to/3vuAYM1

How do I interpret this data?
I would like to which value is for which parameter, something like
Parameter Value Threshold Worst
Health Status OK N/A N/A
Media Wearout Indicator N/A N/A N/A
Write Error Count N/A N/A N/A
Read Error Count 74 44 65
Power-on Hours 88 0 88
Power Cycle Count 100 20 100
Reallocated Sector Count 100 10 100
Raw Read Error Rate 74 44 65
Drive Temperature 30 0 40
Driver Rated Max Temperature 70 40 67
Write Sectors TOT Count 100 0 253
Read Sectors TOT Count 100 0 253
Initial Bad Block Count N/A N/A N/A
Thank you

Hi,
Unfortunately, I can't find any documentation to provide an answer to your request on the data output. Perhaps you can try other command available in PERCCLi : https://dell.to/3d378bn to check if it is able to list the information that you need.

Exactly the same question ...
Did the same as above using the newest perccli available and "show smart" command.
The output is very similar:
af 00 00 0c 00 00 03 08 00 00 20 44 34 00 00 00
The rest is zeroes.
Any ideas about how to read/interpret the "show smart" output?

Hello X88,
The SMART output can be viewed in the controller BIOS and in OMSA.
As for decoding the output of the perccli command; I'm not finding anything. Maybe the community can help on this.
You may need a third party parser: https://dell.to/3jfW1PJ
I will see if I can find anything else and update if I do.

Hello X88,
It looks like the bytes are related to the Wiki Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.#cite_note-Intel-37
