Is the pool enabled, does it have free space, and is it named DEFAULT_POOL?

The first DEFAULT_POOL (the FBA pool) is the one you would use by default for TF/Snap, and in your case that pool is Disabled and does not contain any devices.

Hi Kgoudus,
in order to ensure that the pool is enabled, that there is free space and etc, try to execute the command with file and not with device group.
symsnap -sid <> -f create -svp -noprompt.
In your case is
; symsanp -sid <> -f <> create -svp DEFAULT_POOL -noprompt
What is the output? What do you get back as a feedback from this command?
