Step 2. Create “/tmp/check-disk” file

vi /tmp/check-disk

IMPORTANT
Make sure to copy and paste the exact lines below.

#!/bin/sh
for dev in $(esxcli storage core device list | grep '^t10\.' | awk '{print $1}'); do
  echo "==== SMART Info for $dev ===="
  esxcli storage core device smart get -d "$dev"
  echo ""
done

Step 3. Make the script executable

chmod +x /tmp/check-disk

Step 4. Check disk

./tmp/check-disk
