See full text

A path selection module selects at least two fiber channel paths between a fiber channel host and a fiber channel destination. A trace route module performs one or more fiber channel trace route procedures for each of the at least two fiber channel paths. The trace route module provides a set of fiber channel links between the fiber channel host and the fiber channel destination for each of the at least two fiber channel paths. A record registration module registers with one or more event servers to receive link incident records for the fiber channel links in the sets of fiber channel links.
