Cause
There are a lot of nsrmmd processes running in NetWorker server with Data Domain DD Boost devices. Some of nsrmmd had timeout and could not be authenticated by NetWorker server.

1. Log in to the NetWorker Management Console (NMC).
2. From the Devices tab, go to Storage Nodes.
3. Right-click the storage node that is used by the backup and open the Properties.
4. From the General tab, under Device Management, check the Dynamic nsrmmds checkbox.
