HP StorageWorks Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
(Part Number: AA-RS26C-TE)
On page 30, after the heading “Detailed Zone Configuration Procedures,” add the
following:
Note: The maximum number of items that can be stored in the zoning configuration
database depends on the switches in the fabric, whether or not interop mode is
enabled, and the number of bytes required for each item. The number of bytes required
for an item depends on the specifics of the fabric but cannot exceed 64 bytes per item.
At 64 bytes per item, you can have:
■ 767 entries for a fabric with at least one 2.x or 3.x switch and interop mode
disabled.
■ 383 entries for a fabric with at least one 2.x or 3.x switch and interop mode
enabled.
■ 997 entries for a fabric consisting solely of 4.x switches and interop mode
disabled.
You can use the cfgSize command to check both the maximum available size
and the currently saved size. If you believe you are approaching the maximum,
you can save a partially completed zoning configuration and use the cfgSize
command to determine the remaining space.”
