Simple RAID Profile
1 Scope
The RAID profile extends the management capabilities of referencing profiles by adding the capability to
represent the configuration of RAID storage. The RAID storage is modeled as collections of attributes
where there are collections for the storage adaptors, physical disks, logical disks, end enclosures and
parent-child relationships between the collections. Additionally, there is a configuration service that
contains all the methods used to configure the RAID storage.
