From ONTAP 9 Documentation:
FabricPool supports the following aggregate types:
You cannot use Flash Pool aggregates (which contain both SSDs and HDDs).

Solved! See The Solution
Hello @kennethostnes ,
The support of Flash Pool with FabricPool idea has been discussed amongst Engineering but has been prioritized lower due to lack of demand. As of now, there is no eta, I recommend reaching out to your Account Team to express your interest.

I would suspect not for a while (if ever). It may have something to do with the way data is cached on the SSD (FlashPool) that may muck around with the algorithms as to how to decide what data to tier.

Thank's for the replies. Not what I have hoped.
I will consider to reach out to the Account Team on this.
