Personally, I would use smartctl. Do a "which smartctl" to see if you have it installed, otherwise it's in the OI SFE package smartmontools.
First get a usage summary using "smartctl -h", then you might want to scan for available devices via "smartctl --scan". Then pick one and query its info by "smartctl -a <DEVICE>". I'd take up the occasion to run also "smartctl -t long <DEVICE>" so it does a complete surface test, some disks do it very fast, others less so. In a couple of hours you should have any and all SMART info about your drives. Hope this helps, do remember that the pci-ide driver does not allow SMART passthrough right now in Solaris. If you need some info like that, use a Linux live CD. Bryan On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 7:13 PM, Reginald Beardsley <pulask...@yahoo.com>wrote: > I had a power failure last night.
