    And some of your questions sent to me directly:
     

    > 1....every data domain box or appliance box has a OS from where it can be operated?

    Yes, Data Domains also run some unix OS (most likely a Linux variant).

    > 2....If yes,then this OS has a host name which we called as storage server in NBU???

    The appliance gets a hostname and a NetBackup media server name just as any other netbackup media server.


    > 3...We give that name while configuring storage server??

    When you boot the appliance for the first time it asks all necessary info, and it will create all storage server/disk pool configuration for you.

    > 4...NetBackup Media Server Deduplication Option (master server, media server, client,
    > or VMware backup host)

    The 52xx appliance can be Master/Media server or Media server (and VMware backup host in either situation as well).
