  Based on the error message, there is a DMSHELL. Run with -start_in_debugger and put a breakpoint in DMCreate_Shell, and you'll find out where it is being called

Since you did not provide a DM that has the ability to even generate coarse grid vectors the process can work. You need a DM that can provide the coarse grid vectors and restrict solutions. Did you forget to pass a DM to the solver?
