age

string

The age of the Fibre Channel fabric data cache retrieved. If the FC fabric data cache has not been fully updated for a newly discovered fabric, or a fabric that has been re-discovered after being purged, a value for this property will not be retrieved. The value is in ISO 8601 duration format.
