This OID reports the vCon (virtual host bus adapter connection) slot that the launched, deployed instance of an iSCSI vNIC as it actually runs on a server, as opposed to the vNIC's policy-level definition (IScsiLCP) is actually mapped to at runtime on the adapter. An admin cares because vCon assignment determines which physical adapter path the iSCSI vNIC's traffic actually rides on, which matters when diagnosing an adapter-side fault. For example, an admin isolating a failed adapter port would cross-reference this operVcon value on the IScsiLCP object against the adapter's vCon-to-port mapping to find the affected path.
