Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a DSE pool in VMAXe 10K. I have created a pool of type rdfa_dse. I have around 30 savedev's that are in default_pool, I want to move them to the DSE pool.

The procedure im following is to first disable the device from default pool then add them to dse pool.

symcli is not allowing me to disable the devices in default pool, below is the error, Any suggestions are welcome

C:\>symconfigure -sid 73 -cmd "disable dev 010B in pool DEFAULT_POOL type=SAVEDEV;" preview

Execute a symconfigure operation for symmetrix 'XXXXXXXXXX' (y/ ) ? y

A Configuration Change operation is in progress. Please wait...

    Establishing a configuration change session...............Established.

    Error occurred while Defining change number 1:
    The requested feature is not supported for this Enginuity or SYMAPI version
    Device 010B generated the failure

    Terminating the configuration change session..............Done.

The configuration change session has failed.

Posting the fix here for other users.  This KB solution explains the situation exactly:

We disabled the SAVE devices manually with Inline commands and they could then be added to the new DSE pool from SE/UVMAX.
