Mental note:
I ran into a problem with VMware Data Recovery when I used an ip-adres in the SMB share-name i.e. \\10.0.0.0\vdr$:
The VDR appliance console showed the following error:
VDR Error: CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 114 mid x
Fixed by modifying resolv.conf on the VDR appliance to search the domain in which the server is located:
search example.domain.com and use the DNS- namein the destination definition : i.e. \\server\vdr$
