Hi,
Is there any way to reset SMART info in the drives? Like a very low level formatter or things like this?
Regards,
Izo.

Trying to explain better:
I want to run lots os tests in SCSI HDDs and don't want the server, controller, etc previously identifying failures. So I'm looking for ways to, temporarily disable some or all SMART info from the disks.
Is that possible?
Is there such tool for managing SMART features on SCSI drives?
Regards,
Izo

On SCSI drives, you usually control the reporting of SMART errors (i.e. Informational Exception Conditions), through the parameters in Mode Page 0x1C. This allows you to stop a drive from reporting such a condition to a host - there are many different options available through that Mode Page, depending on exactly what you are doing and what you want to achieve.
