How does the EBR appliance write to a DataDomain?
Running networker 8.2 and .5TB EBR appliance in test environment.
Does the VBA write directly to a DD or does the ESXi host the VBA is running from write to the DD? If it's the latter, can you specify which vmkernel port to use? We have management ports running at 1GbE but the rest of the vmkernel ports are running 10GbE so hopefully it doesn't default to the mgmt port.
Also since the EBR is binded to a DD pool, it should only store metadata and the disk utilization should be very small. Is this correct to say?

Regarding the writes to DD, the VBA and or its external proxys will write(using avtar) to DD using their own Portgroup.
Yes, if you are writing to a DD the internal usage on VBA is very low. Also its is still critical to take Checkpoint backups of the VBA
Hope this helps!

VBA reads VMDK file (snapshot file) and then write to DD boost's Storage Unit directly
