Zoning Name Limits; Qlgc_Zoningcapabilities : Cim_Zonecapabilities - Qlogic 3000 Series Reference Manual

3–Fabric Zoning Classes

Zoning Name Limits

1. Locate the "Fabric" profile (CIM_RegisteredProfile).
2. Follow the CIM_ElementConformsToProfile association to the fabric
CIM_AdminDomain object that will be associated with the active zoneset
and zone objects.
Zoning Name Limits
The CIMAgent supports names for zones, zone aliases, and zoneset with the
following character set: alphanumeric characters, "^", "$", "-", and "_". The
maximum name length is 64 characters.
QLGC_ZoningCapabilities :
CIM_ZoneCapabilities
There will be one instance of zoning capabilities associated to the switch
(CIM_ComputerSystem) that is hosting the CIMAgent. In a multi-switch fabric, a
client should use the lowest values returned from the capabilities reported by the
separate providers to prevent the creation of a zoneset that will overwhelm an
attached switch when activated.

Property will contain the maximum number of zones allowed in the
zoning database.
Property will contain the maximum number of zone aliases in the
zoning database.
Property will contain the maximum number of zone members allowed
in the inactive zoning database. Note: While the CIMAgent reports
duplicate zone members as a single instance of
CIM_ZoneMembership, the switch zoning database will count them as
multiple zone members, so this property more accurately reflects the
maximum number of ZoneElementSettingData association instances
allowed in the zoning database.
Property will contain the maximum number of zonesets allowed in the
zoning database.
