smartctl --scan can not detect the disks behind a megaraid controller on Dell Poweredge R620 with windows os

[kate]

I have a Dell PowerEdge 620 server. It was provisioned with linux os.
I installed linux version of smartmontools on it.
the smartctl --scan command showed following output

/dev/sda -d scsi # /dev/sda, SCSI device
/dev/bus/0 -d megaraid,0 # /dev/bus/0 [megaraid_disk_00], SCSI device
/dev/bus/0 -d megaraid,1 # /dev/bus/0 [megaraid_disk_01], SCSI device
/dev/bus/0 -d megaraid,2 # /dev/bus/0 [megaraid_disk_02], SCSI device
/dev/bus/0 -d megaraid,3 # /dev/bus/0 [megaraid_disk_03], SCSI device

The first line indicates a raid controller and the next 4 lines represent the disks behind the raid controller. It is a megaraid type controller.

Then running
smartctl -a -d megaraid,0 /dev/bus/0
showed all the details about first disk including serial number, model, size etc and also all the smart parameters.

Now I installed windows os on the same server. Also installed windows release 7.3 of smartmontools.
But on windows smartctl --scan does not show the disks. The output only shows one line.
/dev/sda -d scsi # /dev/sda, SCSI device

If I run
smartctl -a -d megaraid,0 /dev/bus/0
I get an error as below

On the same server linux version of smartctl can see the disks behind the raid controller but windows version of smartctl says

Unknown device type 'megaraid,0'

What do I need to do to get the windows version of smartctl to detect and show the smart parameters of the disks controlled a by a raid controller.

Are there any other versions / settings or commands that I need to run so as to detect the raided disks on windows?

If it is a bug can you fix it?
