I am working on implementing ddboost over FC in our test environment.

Our Data Domain's are DD2500's.  We are running NetBackup 7.5.0.4 on redhat 
linux with the 2.6 ost plugin installed.

This same data domain is already registered as a storage server via hostname 
and applying credentials to that instance was trouble free.

After zoning the DD so that it can be seen by our NBU servers, I was able to 
issue the following nbdevconfig command to create a new storage server using 
the DFC- name generated during initial config of ddboost over fc settings on 
the DD

./nbdevconfig -creatests -stype DataDomain -storage_server DFC-fldevdd002 
-media_server flmdevlxnb001.xxxxxxx.xxx

>From the GUI I can now see this storage server listed but my attempts to add 
>credentials to my master/media server (flmdevlxnb001.scottrade.dev) have been 
>unsuccessful.

tpconfig -add -storage_server DFC-fldevdd002 -stype DataDomain -sts_user_id 
ostuser -password xxxxxxxxxx

I get the following error after running the above command...

Failed to open server connection to type DataDomain server DFC-fldevdd002: 
Error = 2060046
plugin error
Authorization failed for OpenStorage server DFC-fldevdd002

What is confusing me is that this storage (DFC-fldevdd002) server isn't based 
on a hostname attached to an interface on the Data Domain like a traditional 
storage server would be.  For this reason, most troubleshooting steps 
surrounding name resolution etc... don't seem to apply with regard to a fiber 
attached storage server.

I have gone step by step through both the EMC Open storage admin guide and the 
Symantec equivalent.  It appears to me that I am missing a glaringly obvious 
step.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get credentials pushed out to my master/media 
server ?
