To store information about RPC servers, interfaces, and objects, the NSI defines the following name service entries: server entry Stores binding information, interface identifiers, and object UUIDs for an RPC server. group Corresponds to one or more RPC servers that offer a common RPC interface, type of RPC object, or both. profile Defines search paths for looking in a name service database for a server that offers a particular RPC interface and object. Note that when the NSI is used with the Cell Directory Service, the name service entries are CDS object entries.
