A zoning database is maintained on each switch consisting of all inactive zone sets, the active zone set, all zones, aliases, and their membership. Refer to the HP StorageWorks 2/8q Fibre Channel Switch Management User Guide for more information about zoning. -
Page 23: Hard Zones (Access Control Lists)
Soft zones can overlap; that is, a port can be a member of more than one soft zone. Membership can be defined by Fibre Channel address, domain ID and port number, or worldwide name. Soft zoning supports FL_Ports and F_Ports. HP StorageWorks 2/8q Fibre Channel Switch Installation Guide... -
Page 24: Performance
Latency is a measure of how fast a frame travels from one port to another. Factors that affect latency include transmission rate and the source/destination port relationship. 2 Gbps to 2 Gbps transmissions have a latency factor < 0.4 µsec.
