I have a number of servers using the compaq-server template, and on some, all 
the tests are always green. On the others, the are all clear, and I have 
error messages such as this:

Missing repeater data for primary OID cpqHeFltTolFanIndex

There is no apparent difference between the servers. One DL380 works, one does 
not. Two DL580s work, three don't.

I'm wondering if there is a similar issue here. If I snmpwalk the whole Compaq 
OID, or each branch, I get the data I expect on the servers that aren't 
working.

I think that is one of the last few issues I'd like to see fixed before 0.3.0 
goes out.
