Smartmontools: smartd - operation not supported by device, close failed

[Nick Jagger]

This is about a smart array 6i controller (ciss) on a hp proliant dl360g4p.
Running 6.2 RC1 (up to next build)

from dmesg:
ciss0: <HP Smart Array 6i> port 0x4000-0x40ff mem 0xfdff0000-0xfdff1fff,0xfdf80000-0xfdfbffff irq 24 at device 1.0 on pci2
ciss0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
da0 at ciss0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0

I have configured smartd.conf (from smartmontools) as:
/dev/ciss0 -a -d cciss,0 -m root at localhost

When running smartd, it returns the following message at every check of the disk: 

May 20 14:32:03 server smartd[4867]: Device: /dev/ciss0 [cciss_disk_00], Operation not supported by device, close(195) failed

Is this something to be concerned about?

thank you,
nick
