The requested feature is not supported for this microcode or SYMAPI version
(for example command like : symclone -sid <sid> -g <dg> create DEV001 sym ld  TGT001  -precopy -diff).

Same command runs successfully with Solutions Enabler 9.x.

Cause

Using Logical device names with symrdf, symmir and symclone has been deprecated in version 10.x and above.
In Solutions Enabler 8.4, it was announced:

Resolution

Solutions Enabler versions upto 9.2.x tolerated using Logical device name with the SYM ld syntax.
Solutions Enabler 10.x no longer support  the SYM ld syntax.

The same action command can be executed using the -f <filename> facility to define the source and target devices of the operation, example :  
symclone -sid xxx -f <fff> create -precopy -diff
where fff contains:
100 200

Please see symclone -h for the full command syntax available with the version installed.
