@aron, this article covers how to get SMART data in Stablebit Scanner running in a Windows VM with RDM disks on an ESXi host. The following is the KB article from VMware about how to query SMART data from your drives from the ESXi host CLI: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2040405
You will also need to make sure that passing of SMART data is supported on your particular controller. Here is an example from my host:
~ # esxcli storage core device smart get -d naa.5e83a97f147d02bc
