Managed SAN port count calculation
NOTE
If you exceed the maximum port count for your version, software functionality is impacted and you
must reduce the port count using the Discover Fabrics dialog box or contact your vendor to purchase
an additional license for your version.
The managed SAN port count is calculated using the following rules:
• Only switches discovered from the SAN tab are counted.
• The switch port must be licensed.
• The ports must belong to a currently monitored fabric.
• ICL ports are not counted.
• The port must be a physical port (for example, VE Ports are not counted the 4 Gbps router
extension switch; however, the gigabit ports are counted).
• Access Gateway ports are counted.
• The ports from discovered Virtual Fabrics are counted.
• The ports from managed Fabric OS switches are counted.
• The ports from unmanaged, unreachable, and missing switches are not counted.
