2、try CouncilApproved August 3, 2004 American National Standards Institute, Inc.AbstractThis standard describes in detail the basic Fibre Channel services introduced in FC-FS. In addition, thisdocument describes any ancillary functions and services required to support the Fibre Channel services.Servic
3、es described include name services, management services, discovery services, time services, andalias services. This standard adds additional services to, and replaces, ANSI INCITS 348-2001.Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that therequirements for due process, consens
4、us, and other criteria for approval havebeen met by the standards developer.Consensus is established when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board ofStandards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly andmaterially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more thana simple ma
5、jority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that allviews and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be madetowards their resolution.The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; theirexistence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has app
6、rovedthe standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or usingproducts, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards.The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards andwill in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American NationalStandard. M
7、oreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue aninterpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the AmericanNational Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should beaddressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the titlepage of this standard.
