Access Points Subprofile

 Next

The Access Points Subprofile is referenced by other SNIA Profiles as an optional enhancement to allow a Client to remotely manage the elements of the Profile. The remote interface might be a web browser, telnet connection or some other vendor-specific interface. This Subprofile typically allows the Client to determine the URL to use to connect to the device. (e.g., “http://mydevice.net”).

The Access Points Subprofile is considered a Common Subprofile because it can optionally enhance the following Profiles to provide this additional capability:

  • Array Profile - allows a Client to manage external RAID arrays and disk storage systems
  • NAS Head Profile - allows a Client to manage File Systems and File Shares on a NAS system that does not include local storage
  • Self-Contained NAS System Profile - allows a Client to manage File Systems and File Shares on a NAS system that does include local storage
  • Storage Library Profile - allows a Client to manage a storage library and its components
  • Storage Virtualizer Profile - allows a Client to manage a RAID array that does not include any local storage
  • Volume Management Profile - allows a Client to manage storage as virtual resources using a software storage management subsystem running on a host system
  • Switch Profile - allows a Client to manage a Fibre Channel Switch device
