I am facing the same error on a RHEL node (VM). The version of the smartctl
is 5.43.

The sample output of the command "smartctl -a -d sat /dev/vda" is as below 

smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [x86_64-linux-2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64]
(local build)

Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T
permissive' options.

Any clue about the same?
