That should cough up some articles discussing the GUID.

        Subject:        Re: Why would I want to install the TIVguid pkg on
any of my UNIX cli         ents?


There is very little documentation on TIVguid.  The "IBM Tivoli Storaga
Manager for Unix Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide"
states numerous times, "TIVguid is a prerequisite for the
TSM API and the backup-archive client and must be installed first".
However, the README file for the same same code has no mention of it being
a prerequisite at all.

I also have numerous installations runnning without the TIVguid package
and don't seem to be experiencing problems.  Can anyone provide any
further info on this.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards, Joe
