Search Requirements
1Maximum number of traversed entries:
Because clients usually find a system-specific server by specifying its server entry to
the import operation, groups are usually not part of the NSI search path for system-
specific applications. However, groups are a management tool for such applications.
A group containing the names of the server entries of all the current servers can act
as an accounting database. Also, a group for the servers on each set of related
systems, such as the members of a LAN or an administrative grouping, permits a
client to sequentially use the application on every system in the set. An application
with system-specific servers should not use profiles.
14.3.5.4 Exporting Multiple Object UUIDs to a Single Server Entry
Often a single server offers more than one resource, or it offers several types of
resources. In cases where a server instance has a large number of object UUIDs, the
application should usually place multiple object UUIDs into a single server entry.
Typically, an application places all its object UUIDs into one server entry; however,
it may need to segregate them into several server entries according to factors such as
object type, location, or who uses the different types of objects. When you are
