该API为ANSI INCITS 408中定义的标准功能提供管理接口- 2005（SPC-3）和标准功能的通用供应商特定扩展。预期的 受众是提供提供这些功能的驱动程序的供应商。本标准涉及 SCSI多路径功能和排除互连设备之间的多路径（例如 光纤通道交换机）和特定于传输的多路径（如iSCSI多连接） 每节课）。

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).
