What is sourceName?

This read-only DisplayString variable holds the 'friendly' name of the event source, included in SAN device event traps. It gives an operator a human-readable label for the originating device instead of only a raw identifier. An admin scanning the event log might see sourceName set to "SAN-Switch-Rack3" and immediately know which physical device generated the alert.
