What is fcmInstanceDescr?
This object stores a human-readable textual description of a Fibre Channel management instance and the FC entities (switches, storage arrays, HBAs) it manages. Administrators use this field to document the purpose, location, or scope of each management instance for operational clarity. It helps identify and organize multiple FC management domains in larger storage networks.
