2. Run switchtest(1M) or qlctest(1M) to test the entire link.
3. Break the connection by uncabling the link.
4. Insert a loopback connector into the switch port.
5. Rerun switchtest.
a. If switchtest fails, replace the gigabit interface converter (GBIC) and rerun
switchtest.
b. If switchtest fails again, replace the switch.
6. Insert a loopback connector into the HBA.
7. Run qlctest.
a. If the qlctest test fails, replace the HBA.
