 NAME
      glb_obj.txt - file specifying the object UUID of the Global Location
      Broker

 SYNOPSIS
      /etc/ncs/glb_obj.txt (Apollo Domain/OS workstations at SR10.2 or later)
      /etc/ncs/glb_obj.txt (HP-UX systems and other UNIX systems)
      ncs$exe:glb_obj.txt (VMS systems)
      0sb_obj.txt (MS-DOS systems)

 DESCRIPTION
      The Global Location Broker (GLB) is an object identified by a
      Universal Unique Identifier (UUID).  This UUID has a default value.
      The glb_obj.txt file allows you to override the default value by
      specifying a different GLB object UUID for a particular host.

      The glb_obj.txt file is used only in special configurations that
      require several disjoint GLB databases (each of which is possibly
      replicated).  In most networks and internets, there is only one GLB
      database (possibly replicated), and hosts do not need to have a
      glb_obj.txt file.

      If a host has a glb_obj.txt file, the UUID in the file identifies the
      GLB object to which that host will direct lookups and updates.  If the
      host runs a GLB daemon (glbd or nrglbd), the UUID also identifies the
      GLB object managed by that daemon, and the daemon will accept lookups
      and updates only for that object.  By specifying different GLB object
      UUIDs on different sets of hosts, you can partition a network or
      internet into Location Broker "cells".

      Location Broker cells have independent GLB databases.  Each cell can
      be serviced by one glbd, one nrglbd, or a set of glbd replicas.  All
      hosts in a cell use the same GLB object UUID.  Cells need not
      correspond in any way to physical or logical network topology.

      Managing NCS Software describes how to set up a configuration that
      uses Location Broker cells.

      A glb_obj.txt file consists of one line containing the textual
      representation of a UUID, such as is generated by the uuid_gen
      utility.  The contents of glb_obj.txt are identical on all hosts in a
      cell.

      If a host does not have a glb_obj.txt file, it will use the default
      value for the GLB object UUID.

 EXAMPLES
      A typical glb_obj.txt file resembles the following:
