Question: Do all Graphic Hub Naming Services on the network contain information about all servers? Why is there a need for more than one Naming Service on the network?

• Answer: A Graphic Hub Naming Service only contains information about the servers that have been applied to it. Before a Graphic Hub Server is started, a Graphic Hub Naming Service must be applied to it. Either a local Naming Service that is started together with the server can be applied, or another available Naming Service in the network is applied.
