SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative Specification)
standard SMI-S application programming interface (API) developed by
SNIA that facilitates the management of multi-vendor devices in a
storage area networks (SANs) environment.
A rapid, point-in-time image of a volume created initially on
Snapshot
the same disk as the original by duplicating metadata rather than copying
the full data set. Snapshots are often used to protect against data
corruption (viruses, etc.) or to create test or pre-production
environments. Snapshots are also often used as a first step for creating
non-disruptive point-in-time backups, and for copying datasets to a
second disk to create a full duplicate copy of the volume. Snapshots are
created on disk, and in the same format as the original data. Snapshots
are also referred to as point-in-time copies and as shadow copies.

network management and the monitoring of network devices and their
functions. Similar in function to SAM, except SNMP governs LAN,
whereas SAM governs SAN.

layered above the connection protocol TCP/IP.
