NBU Master: NetBackup for Windows 7.7.1

Client:  NetBackup Client 7.7.1  on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.11 (Tikanga)
Client OS Harddisk: /dev/sda (2.5TB)
Machine: Virtual Machine on ESX 6

Got following messages while performing BMR restore:

ERROR: Unable to create /dev/sda2 as an LVM physical volume
ERROR: Unable to create /dev/sda4 as an LVM physical volume
ERROR: /dev/sda2 is not a valid LVM physical volume: unable to create volume group VolGroup00
ERROR: Unable to create /dev/sda3 as an LVM physical volume
ERROR: /dev/sda3 is not a valid LVM physical volume: unable to create volume group VolGroup01

==============================

Does NetBackup BMR support OS harddisk larger then 2TB on Linux?

Thank you very much for any input or suggestions.

OS disk over 2TB must use GPT partitions.  GPT support began in 7.6 for windows. No word of Linux, not even in the 7.7.2 release notes
