Situation

Error: 20833 zERR_POOL_SHARED_NO_BROKER
Unable to activate pool

Pool is not part of a cluster resource

Resolution

If your server is not a part of a cluster, use NSSMU to mark the device as not sharable for clustering. Corruption can occur if this really is shared, and this is turned off.
