I suppose you can't fetch SMART attributes from RAID itself. If you can
access any single drive in RAID (for example, if you use GEOM RAID) you can run it.

I read first message in thread and find out what you are using COMPAQ RAID. If you can't access any single drive, then smarttools can't help you. Try to find management tool for your RAID, even maybe linux one...
