Problems talking to disks behind PERC adapter

Hi,

smartctl talks happily to disks on several machines with PERC adapaters 
here, but one it does not like.  megacli says that the adapter on this 
Centos 6.9 machine is:

However the smartctl which comes with Centos 6.9 will not talk to it:
smartctl -i  /dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,0
smartctl 5.43 2012-06-30 r3573 [x86_64-linux-2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64] 
(local build)

Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed: megasas_cmd result: 0.0 = 0/45

smartctl --scan
/dev/sda -d scsi # /dev/sda, SCSI device


and neither will one just built from scratch:

./smartctl -i  /dev/sda -d sat+megaraid,0
smartctl 6.5 2016-05-07 r4318 [x86_64-linux-2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64]

Suggestions?
