This read-only display string is the human-readable error message associated with the extended error code for a failed SNMP operation, in most cases matching the message shown on the management console. An admin reads this directly rather than decoding the numeric error code, since it gives the same plain-language explanation an operator would have seen locally at the time of the failed operation. For example, eqlSNMPExtErrMsg might read "Volume already exists" when a SET attempting to create a duplicate volume name failed on the array.
