[OmniOS-discuss] Smartmontools - JBOD chassis

[Kevin Swab]

The 'sg_ses' tool from the sg3_utils package may be able to give you the
information you're looking for.  It's not bundled with the OS or
available in any repos that I've seen, but it builds without any fuss on
OmniOS.  You can download the source here:

I might be mistaken, but the ses driver was mainly used back in the day by unbunbled Sun storage products, such as software that interfaced with the StorEDGE line of JBODs and RAID arrays.
