The CLI may be

5、an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that therequirements for due process, consensus, 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
6、by directly andmaterially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more thana simple majority, 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

23、reword is not part of American National Standard ANSI INCITS 443-2008.)This standard defines a Command Line Interface (CLI) for a storage networking man-agement utility program that is equivalent to the IP Networking Ping function. The CLImay be directly useful to storage management personnel or it
24、may be accessed viaother applications (e.g., an SMI-S Client).This standard was developed by Task Group T11 of Accredited Standards Commit-tee INCITS during 2006-2008. The approval process started in 2005.This standard contains two annexes. Annex A is normative and is considered part ofthis standard
25、. Annex B is informative and is not considered part of this standard.Users of this standard are encouraged to determine if there are standards in develop-ment or new versions of this standard that may extend or clarify technical informationcontained in this standard.Requests for interpretation, sugg
26、estions for improvements or addenda, or defect re-ports are welcome. They should be sent to the INCITS Secretariat, Information Tech-nology Industry Council, 1250 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005-3922.This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the InterNation-al
