Were using sssu to build our new eva-xl but have a question regarding the device count ?
what is it ? and can we use sssu with identical parameters from hsv110 to eva 8000 ?

It's the number of physical disk drives that are allocated to the default disk group during initialization of the cell. Miniumum is 8.

"DEVICE_COUNT=" is also use for the "ADD DISK_GROUP" command.

The online help from SSSU lists the same parameters:
