Werk #17328: Change execution directory of storcli

Component Checks & agents
Title Change execution directory of storcli

Compatibility Incompatible - Manual interaction might be required

The storcli application, launched by the Checkmk Linux agent, created log files in the root directory (/), the execution directory, violating LSB specifications.

With this update, the storcli command will now be executed in /var/lib/check_mk_agent/.

This change is considered incompatible because users must: - Manually move any related storcli ini files from / to /var/lib/check_mk_agent/ - Manually delete any storcli log files already created in the root directory (/)
