Looks like The Fibre Alliance MIB Standards are shaping up with the SNIA pitching in now. I understand the final draft is expected to be reviewed by the IETF in December? EMC RFC2026 - Fibre Channel Management Framework Integration MIB as of 9/14/99 Internet-Draft: emc.com Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress." The list of current Internet-Drafts can be accessed at ietf.org The list of Internet-Draft Shadow Directories can be accessed at ietf.org. Abstract: The goal of this document is to fill in missing pieces necessary to enable an enterprise class storage network. One of the more important features of an enterprise class storage network is management; this document gives a framework MIB that will provide an integrated management environment for the enterprise customer. An enterprise class storage network is comprised of elements (i.e., hubs, switches, converters, gateways, and HBAs) that are developed by many different vendors. The large number of vendors that can exist in a storage network makes mangement a very hard and complicated problem. The main goal of this document's MIB is to enable interoperability among the various vendors involved in the Fibre Channel marketplace.
