27、he specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any ISO and IEC member body interested in the subject dealt with may participate in t

28、his preparatory work. International governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with ISO and IEC also participate in this preparation. 2) In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopte

29、d by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. 3) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC and ISO on technical matters express, as nearly as possible

30、 an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC and ISO member bodies. 4) IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC and ISO member bodies

31、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. 5) In order to promote international unif

32、ormity, IEC 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 publication and the corresponding national or regional publication should be clearly ind

33、icated in the latter. 6) ISO and IEC provide no marking procedure to indicate their approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an ISO/IEC publication. 7) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 8) No liabilit

35、 (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. 9) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable f

ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO/

37、IEC 11002 was prepared by the Information Technology Industry Council and was adopted under the fast track procedure by subcommittee 25: Interconnection of information technology equipment, of ISO/IEC joint technical committee 1: Information technology. This International Standard has been approved

38、by vote of the member bodies, and the voting results may be obtained from the address given on the second title page. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. 11002 ISO/IEC:2008(E) 7 INTRODUCTION The Multipath Management application programming interface (

39、API) provides management interfaces to standard capabilities defined in ISO/IEC 14776-453 (SPC-3) and common vendor-specific extensions to the standard capabilities. The intended audience is vendors that deliver drivers that provide these capabilities. This standard relates to SCSI multipathing feat

40、ures and excludes multipathing between interconnect devices (such as Fibre Channel switches) and transport specific multipathing (such as iSCSI multiple connections per session). 8 11002 ISO/IEC:2008(E) INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MULTIPATH MANAGEMENT API 1 Scope This International Standard provides mana
