We are not actually using DDRs with NetBackup but direct from RMAN, and will not be automounting.
However our design does allow that we might use automounts if we had > 1 DDR available. The theory is that as the individual DDR does not have much redundancy,
it would be possible to have an automount list that had a primary DDR but also listed a second as fallback. That of course would be bad for deduplication, but that might be better than having nowhere to send the data to.
I’ll send you off-list a very dated Data Domain technote on using DDR with NetBackup that has several ‘must do’ items for configuring NFS and the required
mount options. There may be a more recent version available on MyDataDomain.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Automount for deduplication appliances
Are any of you using automount for NFS mounts of deduplication (Data Domain or Quantum DXi) shares to your UNIX/Linux hosts? If so has it caused you any issues?
On the flip side have any of you specifically decided NOT to use automount and would you be willing to share your reasoning?
