The IDRAC MIB allows physical and virtual disks to report an empty physicalDiskName / virtualDiskName. The discovery functions of these plugins used the name as the service item, which crashed because Service rejects empty items.

Werk 20027 provided a temporary fix, which simply ignored those disks.

The plugins now use the IDRAC-internal disk index as an alternative service item. If a disk has no name, a generic name noname-<disk_number> will be used instead.

Additional minor changes:

  • The spare state is always shown in the service summary.
  • The operation state is always shown in the service summary.
  • The different state names are consistently lower case.
  • The different RAID levels are consistently capitalized.
