And it is not fully working either.

While I can exclude both nonexisting devices on the 2nd IDE controller,
I can't do this with the nonexicsting secondary IDE disk on my 1st ctrlr.
I assume, it is because there is an IDE disk on this controller at all
(because on other sys at work I had similar effects w/ DQB instead of DQA):

$ sysman io sh exc

%SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NS1
%SYSMAN-I-IOEXCLUDE, the current permanent exclusion list is: DQA1,DQB*

$ sh dev dq

Device                  Device           Error    Volume         Free  Trans Mnt
 Name                   Status           Count     Label        Blocks Count Cnt
$1$DQA0:         (NS1)  Online               0
$1$DQA1:         (NS1)  Offline              0

Before I did the IDE disk excluding (some years ago), I had 4 DQ devices...

just my 0.02
