TDATs go into a pool, you can't assign any attributes to them other then "in pool" and "member_state"

DATA device configuration rules T The following configuration rules apply to DATA devices: There is no default thin pool. A DATA device cannot be replicated (no BCV, RDF, and so on) A DATA device cannot be a metadevice. DATA devices are not visible to the host; they cannot be mapped or masked once you have TDATs assigned to a pool you would create TDEV devices, somethign like this: create dev count=5,size=27621,emulation=CELERRA_FBA,config=tdev,binding to pool <POOL_NAME> ,preallocate size=27621 CYL;
