nnnnn
is the maximum number of logical devices allowed at one time. The default is 4096. The range is from 4096 to 32768.

Usage Notes

  1. The count of logical devices on the system may be greater than the maximum specified. This can happen when the limit is lowered to a value less than the current number of logical devices in existence. If this occurs, the existing logical devices will be unaffected, but no new logical devices can be created until the number of logical devices is less than the maximum allowed.
