Re: ADDNWSSTGL vs 17 drives -- MIDRANGE-L

Uncharacteristic of IBM I think. Having just done this last week (and now that drive is 'stranded' until next maintenance window) this seems like something very useful! I have also submitted this as a requirement to the CAAC at COMMON.

There already is a Validity Checking program in place for ADDNWSSTGL and I'm guessing replacing that would take some effort for us to make our own.

I opened up a DCR to IBM to ask them to add some error checking to stop
you from adding a 17th drive with ADDNWSSTGL. Here was their reply:

User Group Number - MR0225137148
Document Status - Rejected
Title - Add error checking on ADDNWSSTGL to stop adding a 17th drive on a
nwsd which only supports 16.
IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request...

IBM goes on to show that it's documented in a few places, and posted the
links, but thinks it's silly to add error checking to commands.
