NNM Caching
NNM caching is not the same as DNS caching, but the topic is raised here so the reader will appreciate that two kinds of caching are at work.
NNM performs a great many repetitive operations on the same devices. To avoid potentially expensive lookups of information from other services, it caches this information to improve overall performance. This information is written to disk, and survives an ovstop, ovstart, or reboot sequence. The downside of this data persistence is that external network configuration changes can cause NNM to lose contact with those devices that changed.
