SPI Target Ports Subprofile

 Next

The SPI Target Ports Subprofile is referenced by other SNIA Storage Profiles as an optional enhancement. This Subprofile allows a Client to discover all of the ports connected to a storage system using Parallel SCSI (SPI) that are acting as target ports.

A Client can retrieve information about the SPI port. For example, a Client can determine whether the SPI port can only serve as an target port or as either an initiator or target port.

The SPI Target Ports Subprofile can optionally enhance the following storage Profiles and Subprofiles to provide this additional capability:

  • Array Profile - allows a Client to manage external RAID arrays and disk storage systems
  • Block Server Performance Subprofile - allows a Client to manage the collection of performance statistics for a server that uses block I/O
