Goal
There are several links in the chain, so to speak, of a FC path.
Major components consist of the FC HBA, FC Storage Device and perhaps a FC Switch or Switches linked together.
Note: Part of the FC Switch is the Pluggable Transceiver light modules usually referred to as an small form-factor pluggable (SFP) (or older, obsolete gigabit interface converter (GBIC)) which is inserted into the FC Switch port is also a frequent cause of FC connectivity issues.
Interconnecting Elements (IEs) on the other hand, would primarily be cables, patch panels and splices.
IEs need to be tested/checked/eliminated whenever troubleshooting the lose of connectivity or errors on a FC path.
This is part of the initial triage required of customers in order to help isolate the issue to a Oracle or NON-Oracle component.
