Impact/Risks:

Cause

This is a known issue in the current VCDR version. It is due to an exception during the VCDR Direct Connect setup.

Resolution

This issue is expected to be resolved in a future VCDR release.

Workaround:
Please create a Support Request with Broadcom Support with the ask to restart the PINCProvisioning procmgr service. When filing the Support Request, please provide the below information:
