Important Information 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 Zoning Parameter Number of end ports Unique zone members Members per zone Zones Number of zone sets Maximum devices supported 1024 1024 1024 1024 64 1024 Maximum Value 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. Director Release Notes 17
