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.
