HSZ70 and KZPSA - Max units

Hello Managers,

I have a 4100 and a 4000 in a cluster with two HSZ70 in a dual redundant
configuration. If I define more that 11 units on a HSZ70 controller
pair, the OS (4.0D) complains and will not show the devices on boot up.
Under 11 units the startup procedures see all the rz devices. The bus
looks like this.

               |T|---| Host A(KZPSA) |------| Hsz70 |---| Hsz70 |------|
Host B(KZPSA) |----|T|

Is there some limit to the number of devices seen on one bus under DU
4.0D. I can use the devices through the /dev/rz, but if DU is reporting
an error on boot up I do not want to produce larger problem.

Here is a section of the uerf with over 11 units defined.
