It is a best practice to register the interface with a resolvable name using DNS or any other name resolution mechanism. If the PowerProtect DD appliance is 192.168.1.1 and is named dd22.abc.com, the command to register it on the media server will be:
nbdevconfig -creatests -stype DataDomain -storage_server dd22.abc.com -media_server win-8uktouan6kj
The OST plug-in can recover from temporary network interruptions. However, the operating system on the backup application system might terminate a job prematurely if the backup application time-outs are set too low. A best practice is setting time-outs to at least 30 minutes (1800 s).
