[smartmontools-support] smartctl error on ESXi 6.7

[Justin WuB]

Hi SmartMonTools Support,

I want to check the NVME info on the ESXi 6.7, and I found SmartMonTools has no official support for ESXi.

I google it and there's one link got my notice 'http://pfoo.unscdf.org/esxi/smartctl-6.6-4433.x86_64.vib'.So I downloaded it, but unfortunately it returned an error:

[root at networkDevice:/tmp] /opt/smartmontools/smartctl -d nvme /dev/disks/eui.34333630524493040025384300000001 -x
smartctl 6.6 2017-08-08 r4433 [x86_64-linux-6.7.0] (daily-20170808)
Copyright (C) 2002-17, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org

Read NVMe Identify Controller failed: NVME_IOCTL_ADMIN_CMD: Function not implemented

ESXi 6.7 and smartctl 6.6 are both very old. I'm not sure what the problem is.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Justin
