HBA performance

Hope I'm in the right place. I'm in the process of zoning HBA's to my new library environment. Is there a "rule of thumb" for the number of physical tape drives that you zone to an HBA? I don't want to run the risk of overloading an HBA. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

HBA_RefreshInformation(3HBAAPI) 	      Common Fibre Channel HBA Information Library Functions		   HBA_RefreshInformation(3HBAAPI)

NAME

       HBA_RefreshInformation, HBA_RefreshAdapterConfiguration - refresh information for a specific HBA

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lHBAAPI [ library... ]
       #include <hbaapi.h>

       void HBA_RefreshInformation(HBA_HANDLE handle);

       void HBA_RefreshAdapterConfiguration(void);

PARAMETERS

       handle	       an open handle returned from HBA_OpenAdapter(3HBAAPI)

DESCRIPTION

       The HBA_RefreshInformation() function requests that the underlying VSL reload all information about the given HBA.  This function should be
       called whenever any function returns HBA_STATUS_ERROR_STALE_DATA, or if an index that was previously valid  returns  HBA_STATUS_ERROR_ILLE-
       GAL_INDEX. Because the underlying VSL can reset all indexes relating to the HBA, all old index values must be discarded by the caller.

       The  HBA_RefreshAdapterConfiguration() function updates information about the HBAs present on the system. This function does not change any
       of the relationships between the HBA API and adapters that have not been reconfigured.  HBA handles continue to refer to the same HBA  even
       if  it  is  no longer installed. The HBA name or index assigned by the library remains assigned to the same HBA even if it has been removed
       and reinstalled, as long as the bus position, WWN, and OS device have not changed. Adapter that have been removed and not  replaced  cannot
       have their HBA handles, HBA names, and HBA indexes reassigned. Calls to these adapters will generate HBA_STATUS_ERROR_UNAVAILABLE.
