This patch is only against the 2.1.0 branch, because in the master branch, the scan function is not in ~/lib/python3/cmk/base/check_legacy_includes/ibm_tape_library.py anymore

Hi,
can you submit this change to the Exchange?
The reason why I don't want to merge it to official Checkmk code is that it would cause slower SNMP device discovery for all SNMP user, even the ones that don't have the IBM Tape Library.
Detect functions that fetch OIDs different than system description (.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0) and system object ID (.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0) in every case (detect rules are lazy evaluated), cause the additional OID to be fetched for all SNMP devices.

Hi scolakovic,

thanks for your efforts so far!

I totally understand that the missing system object ID (.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0) of this sh1tty IBM device is a problem
and that you do not want to slow down all plugins by that.

I do not have time to create and maintain an mkp on exchange.checkmk.com
Perhaps I will ask in the forum is somebody else is willing to do it.

I am fine if you close this pull request without merging it.

But again it shows how hard is sometimes do support a device and get the code into the master.
