check_esxi_hardware.py shows warning but vSphere Hardware Status Check shows no warning

Hi,

I have latest patches updated on ESXi5.1 and when I monitor the esxi dell r710 hardware using the plugin, it shows me warning that my RAID controller is not working properly i.e. "WARNING : Controller XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX(PERC H700 Integrated) WARNING : Controller XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX(PERC H700 Integrated)" However there is no warning in vSphere Hardware Status tab. Is the plugin showing wrong info or vSphere not showing correct information.

I am confused. Please suggest.

This is because vsphere client uses the CIM "HealthState" while the plugin uses "OperationalState" responses for Dell servers. Hence the difference. There is a simple reason to this: In the past, Dell servers rarely submitted good HealthState information. Since more or less 2013, Dell seems to have switched to HealthState. I intend to change this in the future.
