This project proposal recommends the development of a set of additional and enhanced services that will be used to support the management and control of Fibre Channel configurations. Included within this scope are services such as: a) management entities and functions associated with virtualization and new features; b) management entities and functions associated with FC-NVMe environments; c) enhancements for higher bandwidth link constructs; and d) other services or features identified during the development of this standard. Where they exist, the protocols, formats and definitions contained in existing directory and management standards will be considered for use in FC-GS-9.
