Some iDRACs list power supplies without answering for their status, type and
name. The Power Supply <n> services of those power supplies went UNKNOWN with
KeyError: '' and asked you to submit a crash report.
Such a power supply is now monitored and reports UNKNOWN with
Status: not reported by the device, so you can see in a service discovery
that the device is not delivering what it should, and an automatic service
discovery will not silently drop the service. You get the same result if a
device stops reporting the status of a power supply it was reporting before.
A power supply that only omits its type or name keeps reporting its status and leaves out what the device did not deliver.
All of this applies to Power Supply Redundancy <n> and the redundancy status
of a power unit as well.
