command shows FCR resource limits and usage and includes the following:

LSAN zones and LSAN devices — The information shows the maximum versus the currently
used zones and device database entries. Each proxy or physical device constitutes an entry. If
LSAN zones are defined in two edge fabrics, they are counted as two and not one. One device
imported into multiple edge fabrics counts multiple times.
The default maximum number of LSAN zones is 3000. See
on page 480 for information on changing this limit.
Proxy Device Slots — The physical and proxy devices use the 10000 device slots.
The information shows the maximum pool size for translate phantom node and port WWNs and
shows the number of translate node and port WWNs from this pool.
