Limitations

The Name Registry supports a relatively small number of entries. Other limitations include the following:

• Because all Registry contents reside in RAM, the number of name entries supported is limited by the available RAM space.
• Name entry creation and searching processes do not have to be fast.
• The Registry's information is volatile; information in it is lost when the system is restarted unless the information is saved to NVRAM or disk storage.
