How do I use smartctl (smartmontools) on a single disk in a scsi raid
array? I've done it before, I just forget how. /dev/sda is the entire
array, not an individual "disk".

You have hardware RAID right? I think 3Ware is one of the RAID controllers
that smartctl can query "through" and access the disks directly - I dont
know what other brands it can work through this way. (Maybe ask on the
smartmontools mailing list?).
Some RAID controllers have Linux utilities available that allow you to
control the card or access the disks from the command-line - check with
your card manufacturer.
