Request for IBM i partitions to not allow more than the maximum number of supported disks per Virtual FC connection/adapter.

When customers add disk and multiple paths beyond the supported limits (i.e. 127 paths), they are allowed to do this, until they IPL and fail with SRC A6005090, A6000255, A6000266 without any obvious indication of why the IPL failed. This request is for IBM i partitions to not allow more than the maximum number of supported disks per Virtual FC connection/adapter up front, versus failing during IPL.

The support teams receive these calls without any knowledge of prior configuration changes in the past by the customer from days, weeks, or months prior making the debug even more challenging while in system-down conditions.
