Zoning limitations With firmware 06.00.00 and later, you have the ability to configure large zone sets, including up to 1024 zones and 1024 end ports in a single zone set. Table 3 shows the supported limits for the edge switches and directors. Table 3 Zoning parameters supported limits Zoning parameter Maximum value Number of zone members in a zone 2048 Number of zones in a zone set 1024 Number of unique zone members in a zone set 2048 Total number of zone members in a zone set (where a zone member can be in multiple zones) 4096 Characters per zoning name 32 Number of unique zone members in HAFM Zoning Library 2048 Number of zones in HAFM Zoning Library 1024 Number of zone sets in HAFM Zoning Library 64 Number of end ports 1024 Number of devices supported (including loop devices) 1024 Using the same firmware All directors and edge switches in the same fabric should have the same firmware level installed-whether 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps capable, this firmware operates correctly. The recently released Edge Switch 2/12 had an interim firmware specific for the Edge Switch 2/12, 05.05.00-12. This firmware cannot be used for any other edge switch or director. This interim version is compatible with the M-Series firmware 05.02.00-13 used for the rest of the M-Series fabric products. The firmware 07.01.02-4 is a common firmware for all the M-Series fabric products, including the Edge Switch 2/12. Firmware 06.02.00-22 provides support for second-generation Edge Switch 2/12 and Edge Switch 2/24 switches. This is the minimum M-Series firmware supported on the second-generation Edge Switch 2/12 and Edge Switch 2/24. For customers who want to add a second-generation switch to their existing SAN, but are not ready to upgrade their SAN from 5.x to 06.02.00, there is a downgrade firmware version for each of these edge switches which provides compatibility with a SAN running 05.02.00.
