1 INTENDED AUDIENCE
2 This document is intended for use by individuals and companies engaged in developing, deploying, and
3 promoting interoperable multi-vendor SANs through the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA)
4 organization.
5 CHANGES TO THE SPECIFICATION
6 Each publication of this specification is uniquely identified by a three-level identifier, comprised of a
7 version number, a release number and an update number. The current identifier for this specification is
8 version 1.8.0. Future publications of this specification are subject to specific constraints on the scope of
9 change that is permissible from one publication to the next and the degree of interoperability and
10 backward compatibility that should be assumed between products designed to different publications of
this standard. The SNIA has defined three levels of change to a specification:
11
• Major Revision: A major revision of the specification represents a substantial change to the underlying scope
12
or architecture of the SMI-S API. A major revision results in an increase in the version number of the version
13
identifier (e.g., from version 1.x.x to version 2.x.x). There is no assurance of interoperability or backward
compatibility between releases with different version numbers.
14
15
• Minor Revision: A minor revision of the specification represents a technical change to existing content or an
16
adjustment to the scope of the SMI-S API. A minor revision results in an increase in the release number of
17
the specification’s identifier (e.g., from x.1.x to x.2.x). Minor revisions with the same version number preserve
interoperability and backward compatibility.
18
• Update: An update to the specification is limited to minor corrections or clarifications of existing specification
19
content. An update will result in an increase in the third component of the release identifier (e.g., from x.x.1 to
20
x.x.2). Updates with the same version and minor release levels preserve interoperability and backward
21
compatibility.
22
23
TYPOGRAPHICAL CONVENTIONS
24
Maturity Level
25
In addition to informative and normative content, this specification includes guidance about the maturity
26
of emerging material that has completed a rigorous design review but has limited implementation in
27
commercial products. This material is clearly delineated as described in the following sections. The
28
typographical convention is intended to provide a sense of the maturity of the affected material, without
29 altering its normative content. By recognizing the relative maturity of different sections of the standard, an
30 implementer should be able to make more informed decisions about the adoption and deployment of
31 different portions of the standard in a commercial product.
32
This specification has been structured to convey both the formal requirements and assumptions of the
33 SMI-S API and its emerging implementation and deployment lifecycle. Over time, the intent is that all
34 content in the specification will represent a mature and stable design, be verified by extensive
35 implementation experience, assure consistent support for backward compatibility, and rely solely on
36 content material that has reached a similar level of maturity. Unless explicitly labeled with one of the
subordinate maturity levels defined for this specification, content is assumed to satisfy these
37 requirements and is referred to as “Finalized”. Since much of the evolving specification
38 content in any given release will not have matured to that level, this specification defines three
subordinate levels of implementation maturity that identify important aspects of the content’s increasing
39
maturity and stability. Each subordinate maturity level is defined by its level of implementation
40
experience, its stability and its reliance on other emerging standards. Each subordinate maturity level is
41
identified by a unique typographical tagging convention that clearly distinguishes content at one maturity
42
model from content at another level.

ISO/IEC 24775-5:2021(E)
46 Experimental Maturity Level
47
No material is included in this document unless its initial architecture has been completed and reviewed.
48
Some content included in this document has complete and reviewed design, but lacks implementation
49
experience and the maturity gained through implementation experience. This content is included in order
50
to gain wider review and to gain implementation experience. This material is referred to as
51
“Experimental”. It is presented here as an aid to implementers who are interested in likely future
52
developments within the SMI specification. The contents of an Experimental profile may change as
implementation experience is gained. There is a high likelihood that the changed content will be included
53
in an upcoming revision of the specification. Experimental material can advance to a higher maturity level
54
as soon as implementations are available. Figure 1 is a sample of the typographical convention for
55
Experimental content.

67
Implemented Maturity Level
68
Profiles for which initial implementations have been completed are classified as “Implemented”. This
69
indicates that at least two different vendors have implemented the profile, including at least one provider
implementation. At this maturity level, the underlying architecture and modeling are stable, and changes
in future revisions will be limited to the correction of deficiencies identified through additional
implementation experience. Should the material become obsolete in the future, it must be deprecated in a
minor revision of the specification prior to its removal from subsequent releases. Figure 2 is a sample of
the typographical convention for Implemented content.
IMPLEMENTED
Implemented content appears here.

Stable Maturity Level
Once content at the Implemented maturity level has garnered additional implementation experience, it
can be tagged at the Stable maturity level. Material at this maturity level has been implemented by three
different vendors, including both a provider and a client. Should material that has reached this maturity
level become obsolete, it may only be deprecated as part of a minor revision to the specification. Material
at this maturity level that has been deprecated may only be removed from the specification as part of a
major revision. A profile that has reached this maturity level is guaranteed to preserve backward
compatibility from one minor specification revision to the next. As a result, Profiles at or above the Stable

ISO/IEC 24775-5:2021(E)
76 maturity level shall not rely on any content that is Experimental. Figure 3 is a sample of the typographical
77 convention for Implemented content.
STABLE
Stable content appears here.
STABLE
Figure 3 - Stable Maturity Level Tag
78 Finalized Maturity Level
79 Content that has reached the highest maturity level is referred to as “Finalized.” In addition to satisfying
80 the requirements for the Stable maturity level, content at the Finalized maturity level must solely depend
81 upon or refine material that has also reached the Finalized level. If specification content depends upon
82 material that is not under the control of the SNIA, and therefore not subject to its maturity level
83 definitions, then the external content is evaluated by the SNIA to assure that it has achieved a
84 comparable level of completion, stability, and implementation experience. Should material that has
85 reached this maturity level become obsolete, it may only be deprecated as part of a major revision to the
86 specification. A profile that has reached this maturity level is guaranteed to preserve backward
87 compatibility from one minor specification revision to the next. Over time, it is hoped that all specification
content will attain this maturity level. Accordingly, there is no special typographical convention, as there is
with the other, subordinate maturity levels. Unless content in the specification is marked with one of the
typographical conventions defined for the subordinate maturity levels, it should be assumed to have
reached the Finalized maturity level.
Deprecated Material
Non-Experimental material can be deprecated in a subsequent revision of the specification. Sections
identified as “Deprecated” contain material that is obsolete and not recommended for use in new
development efforts. Existing and new implementations may still use this material, but shall move to the
newer approach as soon as possible. The maturity level of the material being deprecated determines how
long it will continue to appear in the specification. Implemented content shall be retained at least until the
next revision of the specialization, while Stable and Finalized material shall be retained until the next
88
major revision of the specification. Providers shall implement the deprecated elements as long as it
89
appears in the specification in order to achieve backward compatibility. Clients may rely on deprecated
90
elements, but are encouraged to use non-deprecated alternatives when possible.
91
Deprecated sections are documented with a reference to the last published version to include the
92
deprecated section as normative material and to the section in the current specification with the
93
replacement. Figure 4 contains a sample of the typographical convention for deprecated content.

1 INTENDED AUDIENCE
2 This document is intended for use by individuals and companies engaged in developing, deploying, and
3 promoting interoperable multi-vendor SANs through the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA)
4 organization.
5 CHANGES TO THE SPECIFICATION
6 Each publication of this specification is uniquely identified by a three-level identifier, comprised of a
7 version number, a release number and an update number. The current identifier for this specification is
8 version 1.8.0. Future publications of this specification are subject to specific constraints on the scope of
9 change that is permissible from one publication to the next and the degree of interoperability and
10 backward compatibility that should be assumed between products designed to different publications of
this standard. The SNIA has defined three levels of change to a specification:
11
• Major Revision: A major revision of the specification represents a substantial change to the underlying scope
12
or architecture of the SMI-S API. A major revision results in an increase in the version number of the version
13
identifier (e.g., from version 1.x.x to version 2.x.x). There is no assurance of interoperability or backward
compatibility between releases with different version numbers.
14
15
• Minor Revision: A minor revision of the specification represents a technical change to existing content or an
16
adjustment to the scope of the SMI-S API. A minor revision results in an increase in the release number of
17
the specification’s identifier (e.g., from x.1.x to x.2.x). Minor revisions with the same version number preserve
interoperability and backward compatibility.
18
• Update: An update to the specification is limited to minor corrections or clarifications of existing specification
19
content. An update will result in an increase in the third component of the release identifier (e.g., from x.x.1 to
20
x.x.2). Updates with the same version and minor release levels preserve interoperability and backward
21
compatibility.
22
23
TYPOGRAPHICAL CONVENTIONS
24
Maturity Level
25
In addition to informative and normative content, this specification includes guidance about the maturity
26
of emerging material that has completed a rigorous design review but has limited implementation in
27
commercial products. This material is clearly delineated as described in the following sections. The
28
typographical convention is intended to provide a sense of the maturity of the affected material, without
29 altering its normative content. By recognizing the relative maturity of different sections of the standard, an
30 implementer should be able to make more informed decisions about the adoption and deployment of
31 different portions of the standard in a commercial product.
32
This specification has been structured to convey both the formal requirements and assumptions of the
33 SMI-S API and its emerging implementation and deployment lifecycle. Over time, the intent is that all
34 content in the specification will represent a mature and stable design, be verified by extensive
35 implementation experience, assure consistent support for backward compatibility, and rely solely on
36 content material that has reached a similar level of maturity. Unless explicitly labeled with one of the
subordinate maturity levels defined for this specification, content is assumed to satisfy these
37 requirements and is referred to as “Finalized”. Since much of the evolving specification
38 content in any given release will not have matured to that level, this specification defines three
subordinate levels of implementation maturity that identify important aspects of the content’s increasing
39
maturity and stability. Each subordinate maturity level is defined by its level of implementation
40
experience, its stability and its reliance on other emerging standards. Each subordinate maturity level is
41
identified by a unique typographical tagging convention that clearly distinguishes content at one maturity
42
model from content at another level.

46 Experimental Maturity Level
47
No material is included in this document unless its initial architecture has been completed and reviewed.
48
Some content included in this document has complete and reviewed design, but lacks implementation
49
experience and the maturity gained through implementation experience. This content is included in order
50
to gain wider review and to gain implementation experience. This material is referred to as
51
“Experimental”. It is presented here as an aid to implementers who are interested in likely future
52
developments within the SMI specification. The contents of an Experimental profile may change as
implementation experience is gained. There is a high likelihood that the changed content will be included
53
in an upcoming revision of the specification. Experimental material can advance to a higher maturity level
54
as soon as implementations are available. Figure 1 is a sample of the typographical convention for
55
Experimental content.

67
Implemented Maturity Level
68
Profiles for which initial implementations have been completed are classified as “Implemented”. This
69
indicates that at least two different vendors have implemented the profile, including at least one provider
implementation. At this maturity level, the underlying architecture and modeling are stable, and changes
in future revisions will be limited to the correction of deficiencies identified through additional
implementation experience. Should the material become obsolete in the future, it must be deprecated in a
minor revision of the specification prior to its removal from subsequent releases. Figure 2 is a sample of
the typographical convention for Implemented content.
IMPLEMENTED
Implemented content appears here.

Stable Maturity Level
Once content at the Implemented maturity level has garnered additional implementation experience, it
can be tagged at the Stable maturity level. Material at this maturity level has been implemented by three
different vendors, including both a provider and a client. Should material that has reached this maturity
level become obsolete, it may only be deprecated as part of a minor revision to the specification. Material
at this maturity level that has been deprecated may only be removed from the specification as part of a
major revision. A profile that has reached this maturity level is guaranteed to preserve backward
compatibility from one minor specification revision to the next. As a result, Profiles at or above the Stable

76 maturity level shall not rely on any content that is Experimental. Figure 3 is a sample of the typographical
77 convention for Implemented content.
STABLE
Stable content appears here.

Figure 3 - Stable Maturity Level Tag
78 Finalized Maturity Level
79 Content that has reached the highest maturity level is referred to as “Finalized.” In addition to satisfying
80 the requirements for the Stable maturity level, content at the Finalized maturity level must solely depend
81 upon or refine material that has also reached the Finalized level. If specification content depends upon
82 material that is not under the control of the SNIA, and therefore not subject to its maturity level
83 definitions, then the external content is evaluated by the SNIA to assure that it has achieved a
84 comparable level of completion, stability, and implementation experience. Should material that has
85 reached this maturity level become obsolete, it may only be deprecated as part of a major revision to the
86 specification. A profile that has reached this maturity level is guaranteed to preserve backward
87 compatibility from one minor specification revision to the next. Over time, it is hoped that all specification
content will attain this maturity level. Accordingly, there is no special typographical convention, as there is
with the other, subordinate maturity levels. Unless content in the specification is marked with one of the
typographical conventions defined for the subordinate maturity levels, it should be assumed to have
reached the Finalized maturity level.
Deprecated Material
Non-Experimental material can be deprecated in a subsequent revision of the specification. Sections
identified as “Deprecated” contain material that is obsolete and not recommended for use in new
development efforts. Existing and new implementations may still use this material, but shall move to the
newer approach as soon as possible. The maturity level of the material being deprecated determines how
long it will continue to appear in the specification. Implemented content shall be retained at least until the
next revision of the specialization, while Stable and Finalized material shall be retained until the next
88
major revision of the specification. Providers shall implement the deprecated elements as long as it
89
appears in the specification in order to achieve backward compatibility. Clients may rely on deprecated
90
elements, but are encouraged to use non-deprecated alternatives when possible.
91
Deprecated sections are documented with a reference to the last published version to include the
92
deprecated section as normative material and to the section in the current specification with the
93
replacement. Figure 4 contains a sample of the typographical convention for deprecated content.
