Cisco C220M3 LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2008 [Falcon] (rev 03)

smartctl -a -d sat+megaraid,2 /dev/sda

/etc/smartd.conf contains:

/dev/sda -a -d sat+megaraid,3
/dev/sda -a -d sat+megaraid,2

I notice on Cisco machines of the same vintage, some are numbered different.

Some have 2,3 for disk #s, some have 8,9, try different numbers.

It seems inconsistent which makes writing a static smartd.conf file hard for these machines.
