Switches have the NodeDescription filled by FW, and it's usually the

It must not be same. Also I suppose that node description can be changed
at least for some managed switches even today.
Come on, man...
How many cluster administrators that you know will actually go and set
NodeDescription on switches???
I know at least one asked for this.
Perhaps switch_map can be used in conjunction with this like in the
diags ?
Hmm, right, switch_map is another example of switch naming, which is
useful with diags.
Perhaps even more generic - guid to name map? And this will work instead
of (or in addition to) node description when specified?
Can you elaborate on this?
What exactly is switch_map?
See infiniband-diags (ibnetdiscover man page for one).
And why would be need an additional guid-to-anything map if we
already have node map indexed by guids (or am I missing something)?
GUIDs are not the most admin friendly identifiers.
In that case I understand that you probably meant
"name to guid" and not "guid to name" map.
