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.
