Increase consistency group 512 volume maximum to at least 2048

Current IBMi client has 498 volumes running on FS9500.  Existing DS8K systems each have over 1,500 volume, preventing them from using more FlashSystems.  Minimum # of volumes would need to be 2,048 but more would account for future growth.
