Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document specifies how to use the Parallel Network File System
   (pNFS) Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) Layout Type to access
   storage devices using the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol
   family.

Working Group Summary

   Working group consensus was sufficiently broad across the working group to progress this document.
   The only controversy about this draft was if IETF and NFSv4 was the right
forum and if this draft was in scope.  There are agreement within the WG and
with the AD that this is within scope.

Document Quality

   2 independent implementations have been created.  This is draft
presents an evolution of storage layouts as storage advances and should be
implemented more over time.

   The relevant technical experts to understand NVMe and SCSI are also members
of the NFSv4 working group.  This document uses NVMe and SCSI but only
extends the usage of NFSv4 to newer NVMe and SCSI protocol devices.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Christopher Inacio. The
   Responsible Area Director is Zaheduzzaman Sarker.
