  2. IMSS WG Agenda • Agenda and Agenda Bashing • WG Introduction • Relationship with T11 (Roger Cummings) • IPv6 over Fibre Channel (Claudio DeSanti) • Open Mike

  3. Internet and Management Support for Storage Working Group (IMSS) Chair: • Elizabeth Rodriguez, Dot Hill Systems Corp. Elizabeth.Rodriguez@dothill.com Area Advisor: • Bert Wijnen, Lucent Technologies Technical Advisors: • David Black, EMC • Keith McCloghrie, Cisco Systems • Margaret Wasserman, Nokia

  4. IMSS Working Group • Chartered in the Operations and Management Area. Bert Wijnen responsible AD. • IPv6 over FC and Internet area draft, so Margaret Wasserman, Internet Area AD is a technical advisor to this group. • IMSS will also maintain a relationship with the IPv6 working group specifically for the IPv6 over Fibre Channel draft.

  5. IMSS Working Group • IMSS was chartered to address storage work that did not fit elsewhere. Specifically: • IPv6 over Fibre Channel proposed in IPv6 WG last fall/spring but not accepted as WG item due to charter change. • 9 FC MIBs proposed as work items in IP Storage (IPS) WG, but WG did not feel that the proposed MIBs fit in the IPS WG. • T11 did not feel it appropriate to standardize Internet drafts, due to the fact that IETF has domain over the internet and due to lack of expertise in development of MIBs.

  6. IMSS Charter The Internet and Management Support for Storage WG (imss) is chartered to address two areas, specifically: • IPv4 over Fibre Channel has been specified in RFC 2625. A corresponding specification for IPv6 is needed. • An initial Fibre Channel Management MIB has been developed by the IP Storage (ips) WG; extensions are needed to encompass management of additional aspects of Fibre Channel, such as zoning. In the future, other storage related MIBs for other storage transports such as INCITS T10 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or SCSI command specific MIBs may be proposed

  7. IMSS Charter – Goals and Milestones • Dec 03  Submit IPv6 over Fibre Channel draft to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard • Aug 04  Work with T11.5 to determine what additional MIB modules are needed • Oct 04  Submit Fibre Channel Domain Manager MIB to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard • Oct 04  Submit Fibre Channel Name Server MIB to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard • Jan 05  Submit Extensions for Fibre Channel Interfaces MIB to IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard • Jan 05  Review working group charter and determine what additional work, if any, should be undertaken by working group

  8. IMSS Charter – T11 relationship As Fibre Channel standardization is handled by the INCITS T11 Technical Committee (http://www.t11.org), a close working relationship with T11 is essential to the WG's success. In particular: • The IPv6 over Fibre Channel specification … was originally developed within a T11.3 study group and T11 has officially recommended this draft to the IETF. • The IMSS WG will not standardize management of Fibre Channel features ahead of their incorporation into appropriate T11 Fibre Channel standards. • The WG will work closely with T11, specifically Task Group T11.5, on the functionality and structure of the MIBs it develops for management of Fibre Channel.

  10. IMSS/T11.5 Mailing Lists All IMSS working group discussions and decisions will be made on the IMSS WG mailing list. • Subscribe: www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/imss • Archive: www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/working-groups/imss/ • Early (before becomes official IMSS draft) Fibre Channel specific discussion for the MIBs may occur on the T11.5 mailing list. • Subscribe: t11_5-request@mail.t11.org?subject=subscribe • Archive: http://archives.listserve.com/archives/t11_5/

  11. IMSS WG Agenda • Agenda and Agenda Bashing • WG Introduction • Relationship with T11 (Roger Cummings) • IPv6 over Fibre Channel (Claudio DeSanti) • Open Mike

  12. IPv6 over Fibre Channel Draft • First WG draft • Currently in IMSS Working Group last call • Found at www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/ draft-ietf-imss-ipv6-over-fibre-channel-00.txt • Technical comments to the list. • Editorial comments to the author with copies to chair, technical advisors.

  13. Note: • The IPv6 over Fibre Channel draft formerly existed as draft-desanti-ipv6-over-fibre-channel-02.txt. It had been submitted to the IESG for publication as and independent submission, since it did not have a WG home. It was pulled back so that this working group can address.
