This (CucsFsmLifecycle) reports the lifecycle state of this physical FC port's managed-object record itself — for example whether it is fully created, pending deletion, or in some other object-lifecycle stage — which is distinct from the port's operational link state. For this port, lc matters when an object appears in queries but behaves unexpectedly, since a port object mid-deletion or not-yet-fully-created can still show up with partial or stale property values. For example, an lc value indicating the object is pending removal explains why this port's properties might no longer be settable even though the object still technically exists in a query.
