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.

MaxNumZone
Property will contain the maximum number of zones allowed in the
zoning database.
MaxNumZoneAliases
Property will contain the maximum number of zone aliases in the
zoning database.
MaxNumZoneMembers
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.
MaxNumZoneSets
Property will contain the maximum number of zonesets allowed in the
zoning database.
