ISO/IEC 24775-6:2014

Information technology — Storage management — Part 6: Fabric

ISO/IEC 24775-6:2014(E) defines management profiles for Autonomous (top level) profiles for programs and devices whose central function is providing support for storage networking. This standard includes four autonomous profiles: Fabric, Switch, Extender and iSCSI to FC Gateway. This International Standard, together with ISO/IEC 24775-1 to ISO/IEC 24775-5 and ISO/IEC 24775-7 and ISO/IEC 24775-8, replaces ISO/IEC 24775, second edition, published in 2011, and constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following technical changes: - reorganization into eight parts; - maturity identification using stages and new profiles.
