This version is 6+ years old, please update.

Device: LSI MR9261-8i Version: 2.90

This "disk" is a actually logical volume behind a LSI MegaRAID SAS controller. Try -d megaraid,N option, see smartctl man page and Wiki page about RAID support for further info.

This should work with a recent version of smartctl.
