megacli -pdlist -a0 | fgrep -i "device id:"
smartctl -d megaraid,N -a /dev/sda

Get list of device ID's, and then use smartctl to get SMART attributes and status.

N is the device ID from the megacli command, and a is usually "a" to indicate the (first) drive in the RAID device (not actually /dev/sda as in /dev).

Clear foreign configurations on all physical drives. Useful in response to an error like "The specified physical disk does not have the appropriate attributes to complete the requested command."

Show firmware terminal log (to see what the adaptor has been doing, times are in GMT)

megacli -adpallinfo -aall | less
