CSA ISO/IEC 24775-6:21

CSA Preface Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the SCC Mirror Committee (SMC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as \"CSA ISO/IEC 24775-6\" throughout. This Standard replaces CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 24775:12 (adopted ISO/IEC 24775:2011). The International Standard was reviewed by the CSA TCIT under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Information and Communications Technology and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. 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).
