Hi,

On crosschecking two system one in production and another on staging, the disk health status, the same command results in two different output. Command used is "/usr/sbin/smartctl -H /dev/sda". For ESMF server in production it shows 'OK' and for ESM server in staging it shows 'PASSED'.

1.      Why is the output different for the same command for the two servers?

2.      Does it have different significance?

PRODUCTION:
===========
[root@TP-ESMF001 monitoring]# /usr/sbin/smartctl -H /dev/sda

SMART Health Status: OK

STAGING:
========
[root@JW-ESM01 monitoring]# /usr/sbin/smartctl -H /dev/sda
smartctl version 5.38 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen
