Scope:

The Storage Management Technical Specification, Part 6 Fabric defines management profiles for Autonomous (top level) profiles for programs and devices whose central function is providing support for storage networking. This version of Storage Management Technical Specification, Part 6 Fabric includes these autonomous profiles:

• Fabric

This profile defines the model and functions of a storage network including topology and zoning control.

• Switch

This profile defines the model and functions of a Fibre Channel Switch including state, status, and control of the device and it’s connections and product information,

• Extender

This profile defines the model and functions of a networking device that allows for fibre channel to be extended over other networks, and specifically over IP (FCIP).

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption and to maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of P123 – Technical Committee on Information Technology. It will provide the industry with the latest standards available in the ICT field.
