This issue occurs because the Storage Group has an association with a Snapshot Policy. You can see in the 'symsg show SG_NAME' output: symsg -sid 63 show SG_NAMEName: SG_NAME Symmetrix ID : 0005979xxxxx Last updated at : Thu Mar 31 13:30:03 2022 Masking Views : Yes FAST Managed : Yes Service Level Name : Optimized Workload : <none> SRP Name : SRP_1 VP Saved (%) : 74.5 Compression Enabled : No Compression Ratio : N/A Host I/O Limit : None Host I/O Limit MB/Sec : N/A Host I/O Limit IO/Sec : N/A Dynamic Distribution : N/A Number of Gatekeepers : 0 Policies (1): { --------------------------------------------------------------- Suspension Policy Name Type SG PSG Pol --------------------------------------------------------------- Policy-10min Snapshot - Yes No } There appears to be a conflict when a snapshot policy is assigned to the storage group.
Workaround : Create the devices without specifying a sg= value and then manually add the devices to the storage group.
