Check reports tape device as CRITICAL on iDRAC9

[log1-c]

Hello :)
After updating to v1.9.0 the check now reports an attached tape device as critical with "media life left 0%".

According to the customer the tape device works as expected and there are no errors reported in the iDRAC interface.

Have you got any idea where this could originate from?
If necessary I can provide the (storage) inventory file for that host.

Cheers 😃

Hi,

first of all, thank you for recommending this plugin in the SVA podcast 2 years ago. highly appreciate it.

It seems the device is not reported really well. A lot of attributes are missing/empty or set to default.

I guess for these cases I need to add an additional option to ignore the media lifetime value.

Excellent plugins should be shared 👍

In case you need the inventory files, just say so :)

Hi,

Yes please. This would make it much easier to implement a fix.

Thank you.

Hi @log1-c

I had a look and added a change which should fix your issue. Can you please check out the next-release brach and check if it works now?

Thank you

The output changed from

to

(media life removed). Also the tapes perfdata is gone, but the state of the check remains unchanged.

Hi @log1-c,

sorry for the inconvenience. It was late 😅.

I had it fixed for HPE specific drives and not all the others. I just pushed another commit. can you please check it out and see if this solves the issue now?

Thank you

Sorry, I had to push another commit.
