I obtained smartmontools (which includes smartctl) from the standard apt repository (i'm using nexenta however), in addition its neccessary to use the device type of sat,12 with smartctl to get it to read attributes correctly in OS afaik. Also regarding dev id's on the system, from what i've seen they are assigned to ports therefor do not change, however upon changing a controller will most likely change unless its the same chipset with exactly the same port configuration. Hope this helps.
