Closed as program error.
Error description
When creating a pool for an IBM Spectrum Protect Plus vSnap server, using the command "vsnap pool create" will accept invalid parameters. For example, using the compression option "--compression yes" is invalid because the correct syntax is "--compression on". Providing "yes" does not report that the syntax is incorrect and the command will proceed. In this example the pool is created without compression turned on.

Problem conclusion
The vsnap CLI command for pool creation silently ignored an invalid argument instead of returning an error. This has been resolved by adding validation checks to ensure the CLI command reports an error if an invalid argument is specified.
