Name Server Proxy
The name server functionality maintains a database containing the attributes for all hosts and storage
devices in each VSAN. Name servers allow a database entry to be modified by a device that originally
registered the information.
The proxy feature is useful when you need to modify (update or delete) the contents of a database entry
that was previously registered by a different device.
