ISO/IEC 24775-2:2014

Information technology — Storage management — Part 2: Common Architecture

ISO/IEC 24775-2:2014(E) defines the core architecture and protocols in SMI-S. The components of SMI-S architecture include:

– Transport – communicating management information between constituents of the management system;

– Health and fault management – detecting failures through monitoring the state of storage components;

– General information about the object model;

– Names – how SMI-S uses names to allow applications to correlate across SMI-S and to other standards;

– Standard messages – how exceptions are presented to client applications;

– Service discovery – techniques clients use to discover SMI-S services;

– Installation and upgrade – recommendations for implementations;

– Compliance – requirement for compliance to the standard. This International Standard, together with ISO/IEC 24775-1 and ISO/IEC 24775-2 to ISO/IEC 24775-8, replaces ISO/IEC 24775, second edition, published in 2011, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

– reorganization into eight parts;

– maturity identification using stages;
– and new profiles.
