Support more than 4 Subchannel Sets in each LCSS

With the plan of defining a MM 4-Site disk topology, the base devices of each copy of disk will occupy all the 4 Subchannel Sets currently supported leaving no Subchannel Set for defining Alias devices. Therefore to support a MM 4-site disk topology there will be a requirement of being able to define more than 4 Subchannel Sets otherwise it will be challenging to have all the disk devices defined.
