    My $0.02:

    You're limited to !! 15 !! disks only on a _WIDE_SCSI_ controller. ( 7 on a
    SCSI 1 / 2 controller )
    Target 7 (typically) is used by the SCSI controller.
    But your welcome to add more controllers: Each controller will be able to
    control 15 ( 7 ) disks.
    You should reconfigure to add the new controllers/disks.

    regards,

    -- Peter.
