NAME

nrglbd − Non-Replicatable Global Location Broker daemon

SYNOPSIS

/etc/ncs/nrglbd [−version]

DESCRIPTION

The Global Location Broker (GLB), part of the Network Computing System (NCS), helps clients to locate servers on a network or internet.  The GLB database stores the locations (that is, the network addresses and port numbers) where server processes are running.  A daemon maintains this database and provides access to it. 

There are two versions of the GLB daemon: glbd and nrglbd. Only the replicatable version, glbd, is provided for Domain/OS, HP-UX, SunOS, and ULTRIX systems.  For other systems, the non-replicatable version, nrglbd, is provided. The two versions of the daemon should not coexist on a network. (For HP-UX systems, which may have both glbd and nrglbd, use of only glbd is strongly recommended.) 

This entry describes only nrglbd.

Typically, nrglbd is started in background at boot time.  Unless the host is an MS-DOS system, a Local Location Broker daemon (llbd) must be running on the local host when nrglbd is started. 

On MS-DOS systems that use DDS network protocols, nrglbd uses DDS protocols; on other systems, it uses IP protocols. 

Do not run more than one nrglbd on a network or internet, and do not run an nrglbd and a glbd on the same network or internet.  On HP-UX systems, do not run nrglbd at all; run glbd instead. 

See Managing NCS Software for more information about Location Broker configuration.
