2、mation Technology Industry CouncilApproved May 13, 2010American National Standards Institute, Inc.AbstractThis standard specifies Generic Services that may be used to support management and operation of aFibre Channel Fabric. It includes services relating to device and topology discovery, Fabric zon
3、ing, FibreChannel security, time synchronization, address alias groups, event reporting, and performance monitor-ing.This standard provides clarifications, corrections, service enhancements, and new services to the speci-fication in ANSI INCITS 427:2007, and is recommended rather than ANSI INCITS 42
4、7:2007 to guide thedevelopment of new products. In addition, this standard removes the specifications of certain functionsno longer of significance to the community.Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that therequirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria f
5、or 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 majority, but not necessar
6、ily 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 approvedthe standards or no
7、t, 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. Moreover, no person shall
8、 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.CAUTION NOTICE: This Ame
9、rican National Standard may be revised orwithdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National StandardsInstitute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, orwithdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards mayreceive current information on all standard
10、s by calling or writing the AmericanNational Standards Institute.American National StandardPublished byAmerican National Standards Institute, Inc.25 West 43rd Street, New York, NY 10036Copyright 2010 by Information Technology Industry Council (ITI)All rights reserved.No part of this publication may

However, nei-ther the developers nor the publisher have undertaken a patent search in order to identify which, ifany, patents may apply to this standard. As of the date of publication of this standard, followingcalls
13、 for the identification of patents that may be required for the implementation of the standard,notice of one or more such claims has been received. By publication of this standard, no positionis taken with respect to the validity of this claim or of any rights in connection therewith. The knownpaten
14、t holder(s) has (have), however, filed a statement of willingness to grant a license underthese rights on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms and conditions to applicants desiring to ob-tain such a license. Details may be obtained from the publisher. No further patent search is con-ducted by the
15、developer or publisher in respect to any standard it processes. No representation ismade or implied that this is the only license that may be required to avoid infringement in the use ofthis standard.iContents PageForeword . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
