Hi,
The most common reason for this error is insufficient space available to create new volumes.
You can follow primus emc233434,emc225354 .

you do need to specify SSID when you create FBA devices if you have Ficon adapters in the box or you have the MVS support enabled in the bin even if you don't have Ficon adapters.
Huh ? I have DMX4 and i have 3+1 and 7+1 in the box

Check that you have enough space on the drives for what your are creating.
When creating FBA volumes (open systems) you do not need to specify the MVS SSID.
If you are on a DMX make sure you already have raid-5 (7+1) devices as the DMX series machines only support 1 raid-5 in a box at a time unlike the VMAX. If you have raid 5 (3+1) set as the bin file option you can only create that type of device.

Thanks for correcting me dynamox. Wasnt aware EMC supported multiple raid-5 types below a VMAX.
