I prefer to have all device-related statements for guests in the directory,
even those that are only defined by commands, such as HyperPAV aliases. I'm
running into the restriction that the combined length of all COMMAND statements
cannot exceed 3071 characters. Currently, each HyperPAV alias must be defined
with a separate command, e.g.
COMMAND DEFINE HYPERPAV 1380 BASE 1300
COMMAND DEFINE HYPERPAV 1381 BASE 1300
.
.
COMMAND DEFINE HYPERPAV 139F BASE 1300
I know I can squeeze in a few more statements by using the minimum
abbreviations, e.g. CMD DEF HYPERPAV 1380 BASE 1300, but that doesn't really
solve the problem. I also don't want to move the code to PROFILE EXEC, because
then it's not obvious to someone looking at the directory that there are more
devices defined elsewhere. What I'd really like is support for ranges on
DEFINE HYPERPAVALIAS. That way I could replace 32 statements for individual
aliases with one COMMAND DEFINE HYPERPAV 1380-139F BASE 1300.
Am I the only one with this problem? Would this be a good candidate for a WAVV
requirement?
