I recently upgraded my Nagios plugin to speak snmp, and read the MIBs
carefully. In the storage MIB (dcstorag.mib), status codes are listed,
and I've assumed that the status codes are the same for all
components. Following this reasoning a status of '2' is 'Unknown'. Here
is the complete list:

     1 => 'Other',
     2 => 'Unknown',
     3 => 'OK',
     4 => 'Non-critical',
     5 => 'Critical',
     6 => 'Non-recoverable',

You'll probably want to check the sensor state of the PS (oid for this
is 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.600.12.1.11.1.<i>). Try snmpwalk:

  snmpwalk -v2c -c public <hostname> 1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1.600.12.1.11.1

You may want to change snmp version or community name. The result from
the query above will be a number:

         1  => 'Presence detected',
         2  => 'PS Failure detected',
         4  => 'Predictive Failure',
         8  => 'PS AC lost',
         16 => 'AC lost or out-of-range',
         32 => 'AC out-of-range, but present',
         64 => 'Configuration error',

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
