power supply checker fails

[Gro-Anita Vindheim]

Bug present in NAV 4.4.3.

The inventory job checking power supply status is not working, at least not for HP-equipment.

From the ipdevpoll log:

2016-05-09 05:22:51,595 [4082] [WARNING nav.mibs.hpicf_powersupply_mib.hpicfpowersupplymib] [inventory rfb-411-XXX] device response has bad table index .9.1 in POWERSUPPLY-MIB::hpicfPsTable, ignoring

Please fix. We need to know when power supplies fail...

There exists no ipdevpoll job to check the status of power supplies or fans. This is done by a separate program, titled psuwatch from the nav command's point of view.

The log excerpt shows no errors, only warnings that the HP switch has invalid entries in its hpicfPsTable, while taking inventory of the PSUs and FANs in it. NAV ignores these invalid entries.

Since I have access you your installation, I can see that the switch in question has 4 known PSUs and 4 known fans. Unless this is incorrect, this is a non-issue for us (though I would like to know why HP devices keep reporting invalid SNMP table entries).
