Information technology - Storage management - Part 1: Overview
ISO/IEC 24775-1:2014(E) defines an interface for the secure, extensible, and interoperable management of a distributed and heterogeneous storage system. This interface uses an object-oriented, XML-based, messaging-based protocol designed to support the specific requirements of managing devices and subsystems in this storage environment. Using this protocol, this part of ISO/IEC 24775 describes the information available to a WBEM Client from an Information Technology - Storage Management compliant CIM WBEM Server. This International Standard, together with ISO/IEC 24775-2 to ISO/IEC 24775-8, replaces ISO/IEC 24775, second edition, published in 2011, and constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in the INTRODUCTION.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with the IEC 24775 series.

Part 1: Overview
FOREWORD
1) ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental,
in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have
established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC and ISO on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC National Committees and ISO member bodies.
3) IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by
IEC National Committees and ISO member bodies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure
that the technical content of IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC publications is accurate, IEC or ISO cannot be held
responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees and ISO member bodies undertake to
apply IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and
regional publications. Any divergence between any ISO, IEC or ISO/IEC publication and the corresponding
national or regional publication should be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) ISO and IEC do not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. ISO or IEC are not responsible for
any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or ISO or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts
and members of their technical committees and IEC National Committees or ISO member bodies for any personal
injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs
(including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication of, use of, or reliance upon, this ISO/IEC
publication or any other IEC, ISO or ISO/IEC publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable
for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this ISO/IEC publication may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO/IEC 24775-1 was prepared by subcommittee 25: Interconnection of
information technology equipment, of ISO/IEC joint technical committee 1: Information
technology.
This International Standard, together with ISO/IEC 24775-2 to ISO/IEC 24775-8, replaces ISO/
IEC 24775, second edition, published in 2011, and constitutes a technical revision.
The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in the
INTRODUCTION.
The list of all currently available parts of the ISO/IEC 24775 series, under the general title
Information technology – Storage management, can be found on the IEC web site.
This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with all other parts of this series of
standards.
This International Standard has been approved by vote of the member bodies, and the voting
results may be obtained from the address given on the second title page.
