The service description for Dell compellent storage disks contained the internal disk number, which unfortunately can change between multiple SNMP-requests. As a result the mapping of disks to services could change and one single disk health status could be reported to changing services. The service description was changed to use the "DELL-STORAGE-SC-MIB::scDiskNamePosition", which contains the enclosure number and the disk number. This scDiskNamePosition will remain stable across multiple SNMP-requests. All services of this plugin must be rediscovered.
