This API provides management interfaces to standard capabilities defined in ANSI INCITS 408- 2005 (SPC-3) and common vendor-specific extensions to the standard capabilities. The intended audience is vendors that deliver drivers that provide these capabilities. This standard relates to SCSI multipathing features and excludes multipathing between interconnect devices (such as Fibre Channel switches) and transport specific multipathing (such as iSCSI) multiple connections per session.
