questions about smart zone limitations

[Ahmed Abdullahi]

Hi everyone, I had a couple of questions regarding smart zone limits:

1. what is the problem with more than 50 members in a smart zone?
2. what is the problem with multiple initiators in a smart zone?
3. What happens if I have more than 128 hosts per target?

I found the answer to the question about zones with more than 50 members .  There is no problem with having zones with more than 50 member.

To avoid below  warning 

WARNING: The specified zoneset has 4 zone(s) with more members than the recommended limit (50) Zoneset activation initiated. check zone status.

------------

fcalias name xxx_xxx_hosts vsan 10

member device-alias xxx-xxx-xx initiator

exit (Exit is must required before zoneset activate, it will eliminate the above warning)
