Zoning Limitations
Firmware Version 05.02.00-13 includes the ability to configure large zone sets,
including up to 1024 zones and 1024 end ports in a single zone set. Table 2 shows
the supported limits for the edge switches and directors.
Note: Hard Zoning will be enforced upon firmware initialization. Devices not
conforming to zoning rules will be restricted to their assigned zones.
Table 2: Zoning Parameters Supported Limits
Note: The supported number of zones is based on a zone name with a maximum of
32 characters. On all edge switches and directors except the Director 2/140, the
maximum number of zones decreases if full 64 character names are used. The
supported limits are based on two members per zone.
Zone set sizes are affected by the number of zones in the zone set, the length of
each zone name, the number of members in each zone, and the Interoperability
mode of the fabric. Please consult with HP Professional Services or your support
representative if you have questions regarding specific zone set configurations.
