<p>The Add Network Server Storage Link (ADDNWSSTGL) command is used to add a network storage space link to a network server description.
</p>
<p><b>When *IXSVR is specified for the </b><b>Network server type (TYPE)</b><b> parameter in CRTNWSD command:</b>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A maximum of 16 network server storage spaces can be linked to a network server description when using standard linking (DYNAMIC *NO specified).
<p>An additional 32 storage spaces may be dynamically linked to a Windows 2000 server or later with 16 of the 32 links being linked with *UPDATE access ( read/write to only one server ). The remaining 16 links are available for *SHRUPD access ( read/write to multiple clustered Windows Server 2000 or later servers ). The first of these *SHRUPD access links must be to a quorum resource disk ( format *NTFSQR ) at DRVSEQNBR *QR.
</p>
<p>This is only valid when <b>*WIN32</b> is specified for the <b>Network server type (TYPE)</b> parameter.
</p>
</li>
<li>A maximum of 64 network server storage spaces can be linked to a network server description when using dynamic linking (DYNAMIC *YES specified). The first two storage spaces (1 and 2) must be linked with *UPDATE access (read/write). This is only valid when <b>*LINUX32</b> is specified for the <b>Network server type (TYPE)</b> parameter.
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>When *ISCSI is specified for the </b><b>Network server type (TYPE)</b><b> parameter in CRTNWSD command:</b>
</p>
<p>A maximum of 64 network server storage spaces can be linked to a network server description when using dynamic linking. The first two storage spaces (1 and 2) must be linked with *UPDATE access (read/write).
</p>
<ol>
<li>Storage spaces 3-63 can be linked with *UPDATE or *SHRUPD access mode. The last of the 64 storage spaces (64th) must be *SHRUPD access to a quorum resource ( format *NTFSQR ) at DRVSEQNBR *QR when <b>*WIN32</b> is specified for the <b>Network server type (TYPE)</b> parameter.
</li>
<li>Storage spaces 3-64 can be linked with *UPDATE or *SHRUPD access mode when <b>*LINUX32</b> is specified for the <b>Network server type (TYPE)</b> parameter.
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>When </b><b>*GUEST</b><b> is specified for the </b><b>Network server type (TYPE)</b><b> parameter in CRTNWSD command:</b>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A maximum of 64 network server storage spaces can be linked in any access mode to a network server description when using dynamic linking.
