INTENDED AUDIENCEThis document is intended for use by individuals and companies engaged in developing, deploying, andpromoting interoperable multi-vendor SANs through the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA)organization.

CHANGES TO THE SPECIFICATIONEach publication of this specification is uniquely identified by a three-level identifier, comprised of aversion number, a release number and an update number. The current identifier for this specification isversion 1.2.0. Future publications of this specification are subject to specific constraints on the scope ofchange that is permissible from one publication to the next and the degree of interoperability andbackward compatibility that should be assumed between products designed to different publications ofthis standard. The SNIA has defined three levels of change to a specification:

• Major Revision: A major revision of the specification represents a substantial change to the underlying scopeor architecture of the SMI-S API. A major revision results in an increase in the version number of the versionidentifier (e.g., from version 1.x.x to version 2.x.x). There is no assurance of interoperability or backwardcompatibility between releases with different version numbers.

• Minor Revision: A minor revision of the specification represents a technical change to existing content or anadjustment to the scope of the SMI-S API. A minor revision results in an increase in the release number ofthe specification’s identifier (e.g., from x.1.x to x.2.x). Minor revisions with the same version number preserveinteroperability and backward compatibility.

• Update: An update to the specification is limited to minor corrections or clarifications of existing specificationcontent. An update will result in an increase in the third component of the release identifier (e.g., from x.x.1 tox.x.2). Updates with the same version and minor release levels preserve interoperability and backwardcompatibility.

TYPOGRAPHICAL CONVENTIONSMaturity LevelIn addition to informative and normative content, this specification includes guidance about the maturityof emerging material that has completed a rigorous design review but has limited implementation incommercial products. This material is clearly delineated as described in the following sections. Thetypographical convention is intended to provide a sense of the maturity of the affected material, withoutaltering its normative content. By recognizing the relative maturity of different sections of the standard, animplementer should be able to make more informed decisions about the adoption and deployment ofdifferent portions of the standard in a commercial product.

This specification has been structured to convey both the formal requirements and assumptions of theSMI-S API and its emerging implementation and deployment lifecycle. Over time, the intent is that allcontent in the specification will represent a mature and stable design, be verified by extensiveimplementation experience, assure consistent support for backward compatibility, and rely solely oncontent material that has reached a similar level of maturity. Unless explicitly labeled with one of thesubordinate maturity levels defined for this specification, content is assumed to satisfy theserequirements and is referred to as “Finalized”. Since much of the evolving specification

content in any given release will not have matured to that level, this specification defines threesubordinate levels of implementation maturity that identify important aspects of the content’s increasingmaturity and stability. Each subordinate maturity level is defined by its level of implementationexperience, its stability and its reliance on other emerging standards. Each subordinate maturity level isidentified by a unique typographical tagging convention that clearly distinguishes content at one maturitymodel from content at another level.

Experimental Maturity LevelNo material is included in this specification unless its initial architecture has been completed andreviewed. Some content included in this specification has complete and reviewed design, but lacksimplementation experience and the maturity gained through implementation experience. This content isincluded in order to gain wider review and to gain implementation experience. This material is referred toas “Experimental”. It is presented here as an aid to implementers who are interested in likely futuredevelopments within the SMI specification. The contents of an Experimental profile may change asimplementation experience is gained. There is a high likelihood that the changed content will be includedin an upcoming revision of the specification. Experimental material can advance to a higher maturity levelas soon as implementations are available. Figure 1 is a sample of the typographical convention forExperimental content.

Implemented Maturity Level Profiles for which initial implementations have been completed are classified as “Implemented”. Thisindicates that at least two different vendors have implemented the profile, including at least one providerimplementation. At this maturity level, the underlying architecture and modeling are stable, and changesin future revisions will be limited to the correction of deficiencies identified through additionalimplementation experience. Should the material become obsolete in the future, it must be deprecated in aminor revision of the specification prior to its removal from subsequent releases. Figure 2 is a sample ofthe typographical convention for Implemented content.

Stable Maturity LevelOnce content at the Implemented maturity level has garnered additional implementation experience, itcan be tagged at the Stable maturity level. Material at this maturity level has been implemented by threedifferent vendors, including both a provider and a client. Should material that has reached this maturitylevel become obsolete, it may only be deprecated as part of a minor revision to the specification. Materialat this maturity level that has been deprecated may only be removed from the specification as part of amajor revision. A profile that has reached this maturity level is guaranteed to preserve backwardcompatibility from one minor specification revision to the next. As a result, Profiles at or above the Stablematurity level shall not rely on any content that is Experimental. Figure 3 is a sample of the typographicalconvention for Implemented content

Finalized Maturity LevelContent that has reached the highest maturity level is referred to as “Finalized.” In addition to satisfyingthe requirements for the Stable maturity level, content at the Finalized maturity level must solely dependupon or refine material that has also reached the Finalized level. If specification content depends uponmaterial that is not under the control of the SNIA, and therefore not subject to its maturity leveldefinitions, then the external content is evaluated by the SNIA to assure that it has achieved acomparable level of completion, stability, and implementation experience. Should material that hasreached this maturity level become obsolete, it may only be deprecated as part of a major revision to thespecification. A profile that has reached this maturity level is guaranteed to preserve backwardcompatibility from one minor specification revision to the next. Over time, it is hoped that all specificationcontent will attain this maturity level. Accordingly, there is no special typographical convention, as there iswith the other, subordinate maturity levels. Unless content in the specification is marked with one of thetypographical conventions defined for the subordinate maturity levels, it should be assumed to havereached the Finalized maturity level.

Deprecated MaterialNon-Experimental material can be deprecated in a subsequent revision of the specification. Sectionsidentified as “Deprecated” contain material that is obsolete and not recommended for use in newdevelopment efforts. Existing and new implementations may still use this material, but shall move to thenewer approach as soon as possible. The maturity level of the material being deprecated determines howlong it will continue to appear in the specification. Implemented content shall be retained at least until thenext revision of the specialization, while Stable and Finalized material shall be retained until the nextmajor revision of the specification. Providers shall implement the deprecated elements as long as itappears in the specification in order to achieve backward compatibility. Clients may rely on deprecatedelements, but are encouraged to use non-deprecated alternatives when possible.

Deprecated sections are documented with a reference to the last published version to include thedeprecated section as normative material and to the section in the current specification with thereplacement. Figure 4 contains a sample of the typographical convention for deprecated content.
