For redundant systems, the name of the device must match on all computers running the GPI
device service. For instance, if you have two servers with the GPI device service installed,
with one named NRCS1 and the second named NRCS2, by default, the device names would
be NRCS1.0 and NRCS2.0. You would have to alter the device names to match to ensure
redundancy.
