Summary: A technology guide, yes, but not really for programmers.
Comment: Jiro is Sun's implementation of the Federated Management Architecture (FMA). FMA is one of several specs out there that define a generalized management interface for storage products, including disks, tape drives, volume manager software, controller-based arrays, and one expects, NAS/SAN environments too.
This guide begins as a high-level justification for Jiro. It's not actually aimed at API programmers, but rather those people who are considering the technologies their groups or companies will invest in over the next few years. That's important because storage management has been and will be evolving rapidly for some time. The goal in all this is simple: people want hands-off ("policy-based"), standards-driven techniques for maintaining their storage 7x24.
Specifications like Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) and the Common Information Model (CIM) already have broad acceptance, so creating a niche for Jiro requires not a little persuasive effort; that's where this book seems best suited. Monday & Connor paint a picture in which Jiro supplements these models and provides the ease of writing in Java and Jini's very powerful support for distributed programming.
Jiro can be nonetheless interesting in its own right. For one, its developers have written an extended RMI (ERMI). Accordingly, Jiro uses a proxy in contrast to RMI's stub, and adds aspects, such as remote object instantiation, that I found stimulating to think about. Still, there wasn't enough of this type of material to call this book a "programmer's guide."
If you're already reading about policy-based storage management, this book covers the major issues well. But it's not a casual reader's guide. Technology officers and architects working with diverse storage environments are the primary audience; I would consider some background in storage management necessary to taking full advantage of this book.
