Can anyone explain to me why TCP/IP protocols provide an abundance of 
management information (e.g. MIB-II) whereas fiber channel interfaces 
provide hardly any information, which often seems to be of a rather 
dubious nature?

I had to hunt and peck for how to see if my fiber channel was working 
properly.  The incantations were so obscure that I put them in a shell 
script so that they are available when needed.

Is this all that is available or am I missing something?
