System Limits for SAN Objects

The following table lists the numbers of SAN-related objects that can be configured for an Oracle FS System.

Table 1 SAN operating limits
Object	Quantity range
SAN host connections (active)	Maximum: 512 active connections per SAN Controller port 3072 per SAN Controller (with 6 ports) 6144 per Oracle FS System (with 12 ports)
SAN LUNs	Maximum: 4096 visible for any given SAN Controller 4096 visible across all SAN Controllers in a given system 4096 visible per SAN host
SAN LUN size	Maximum: System capacity
Volume copies	Maximum: 13 volume copies (per volume) in progress at any given time
LUN clones (partial block snapshots)	Maximum: 1024 partial block snapshots of a single source volume active at a time Note: Internal Oracle FS System resources might prevent you from configuring maximum settings.
volume groups	Minimum: 1 (default volume group) Maximum: 5000 total
repositories¹	Maximum: 4096

¹ A repository is a space reserved for clones and is associated with a logical volume. A repository holds metadata for the clones of that volume. A volume has at most one repository VLUN. For every SAN LUN that is not autotiered, a metadata VLUN exists. For every autotiered SAN LUN, a Progression Map (metadata) VLUN exists.
