BMR direct P2V VM conversion task fails with status code 7

The Bare Metal Restore (BMR) direct physical-to-virtual (P2V) virtual machine (VM) conversion task fails with status code 7. After VM creation, the issue occurs when BMR tries to mount the disks on the Virtual Instance Converter (VIC) VDDK mount call.

The following example shows how the error appears in the bmrb2vrst logs:

0,51216,434,434,1225074,1669017201225,3136,3144,0:,211:MountManagerApi::AddMountPoint() -

Workaround:

Because this issue is specific to NetBackup 10.2.0.1 Virtual Instance Converter (VIC), you can use NetBackup 10.1 Virtual Instance Converter (VIC) to do BMR direct VM conversion of NetBackup 10.2.0.1 backups.
