Phạm vi áp dụng / Scope of standard

The host-base storage portion of the Storage Management
Technical Specification 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 section describes abstract profiles that may be used as a
basis for creating additional Host-based autonomous profiles.

This version of the Host-based Storage portion of the Storage
Management Technical Specification 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
host-computer 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.).

• "The Host Hardware RAID Profile

This profile defines the model and functions of a host where a
RAID Controller resides. This is a "shim" profile used in the
absence of Base Server Profile, to instantiate an instance of
ComputerSystem that represents the host computer. This profile is
required to add compatibility with the Fibre Channel HBA
profile.

• "The Host Hardware RAID Controller Profile

This profile defines the model and functions of a host-based
RAID controller that exports block storage to a host computer
system from locally attached storage devices (internal hard drives,
JBODs, etc.)

• "The Storage Device Enclosure Profile

This profile defines the modeling of instances, properties and
functions for the management of a storage device enclosure.

This part of the specification defines component profiles used
by the other autonomous profiles to describe aspects of host-based
storage elements and services. The component profiles (subprofiles)
defined in this version of the specification include:

• "The iSCSI Initiator Subprofile

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

• "The Disk Partition Subprofile

The Disk Partition profile models partition (or slice)
configuration services provided by operating systems on some
platforms.

• "The SB Multipath Management Subprofile

The SB Multipath Management Subprofile models paths (connections
between host controllers and device ports) for environments
supporting the SB (Single Byte) command protocol.

• "The SCSI Multipath Management Subprofile

The SCSI Multipath Management profile models paths (connections
between host controllers, device ports, and logical units) for
environments supporting the SCSI command protocol.

This part of the specification defines abstract profile(s) used
as a model to create other specialized host-based storage
autonomous profiles. The abstract profiles (subprofiles) defined in
this version of the specification include:

• "The Generic FC Controller Profile

This profile abstractly defines the model and function necessary
to manage a Fibre Channel HBA. This profile is used as the basis
for the autonomous Fibre Channel HBA profile and the future
virtualization profiles.
