Question

Data Protector backups to a StoreOnce device fail with
   "Number of devices used is smaller than MIN value of load balancing."

Answer

In this case the problem was because there wasn't a correctly working gateway.
The client machines could not resolve the Gateway's hostname.

Entering the Gateway's hostname/ip address in the client's host file,
so clients could resolve the gateway, fixed the problem.
