Cause:

Ontap was unable to modify or create reversemap file to xxxxxxxxx bytes due to lack of space left on the Volume

Increase the volume size to enable the reversemap creation or modification and restore.

Or restore using the rename/relocate option and put the file on a different Volume that has more space.
