Annotation

This part of ISO/IEC 24775 defines management profiles for autonomous, component and abstract profiles for management of host-based storage devices. The autonomous profiles describe the management of a stand-alone host-based storage entity. The component profiles (or subprofiles) describe management of aspects of host-based storage entities that may be used by other autonomous profiles. Finally, this standard describes abstract profiles that may be used as a basis for creating additional Host-based autonomous profiles.

This part of ISO/IEC 24775 includes autonomous profiles:

• "The Host Discovered Resources Profile

This profile defines the model for the storage devices presented to an operating system running on a host computer system. In addition, this profile describes the map of storage associated to a hostcomputer system that a client application can discover.

• "The Fibre Channel HBA Profile

This profile defines the model and functions of a Fibre Channel HBA that exports block storage to a host computer system from a SAN device (Fibre Channel switch, array, tape library, etc.).

• iSCSI Initiator Subprofile

This profile defines the model and functions necessary to manage an iSCSI initiator.

Component profiles used by autonomous profiles to describe aspects of host-based storage elements and services.The component profiles (subprofiles) defined in this standard include:
