The maximum number of items that can be stored in the zoning configuration database depends on the following criteria: • Number of switches in the fabric. • Whether or not interoperability mode is enabled. • Number of bytes per item. The number of bytes required for an item depends on the specifics of the fabric, but cannot exceed 64 bytes per item. When enabling a new zone configuration, you must ensure that the size of the configuration does not exceed the minimum size supported by all switches in the fabric. This is particularly important if and when you downgrade to a Fabric Operating System (FOS) that supports a smaller zone database than the current FOS. In this scenario, the zone database in the current FOS would have to be changed to the smaller zone database before the downgrade. You can use the cfgSize command to check both the maximum available size and the currently saved size on all switches. See the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide for details on the cfgSize command. 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. 190 Administering advanced zoning
