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.
