This part of ISO/IEC 24775 defines the core architecture and protocols in SMI-S. The components of SMI-S architecture include: - Transport - communicating management information between constituents of the management system - Health and fault management - detecting failures through monitoring the state of storage components - General information about the object model - Names - how SMI-S uses names to allow applications to correlate across SMI-S and to other standards - Standard messages - how exceptions are presented to client applications - Service discovery - techniques clients use to discover SMI-S services - Installation and upgrade - recommendations for implementations - Compliance - requirement for compliance to the standard
