I am working on a server ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
In fact i don't have an access to the server itself, but at a VM. I am trying to monitor SMART disk information (like Temperature_Celsius and othet stuff like that) but only from the VM.
I think it is impossible because the VM havent any real access to the physical server, but I am not sure of it.
Thank you for read and i hope someone could answer me fast.
It will work provided that the VM "owns" the disk and the virtualisation engine permits arbitrary commands to be sent to the disk. In the mass-hosting case where multiple virtual machines are sharing a disk, that's a no-go, but it can be viable for custom configurations.
For example, you can use VMWare to pass-through a USB-SATA converter to the guest. Provided the guest supports sending SMART commands to USB Mass Storage devices — and anything you're likely to run in 2014 will have this support — you're good.
