Locality Group Contents

The following APIs retrieve information about the contents of a given lgroup.

The lgroup hierarchy organizes the domain's resources to simplify the process of locating the nearest resource. Leaf lgroups are defined with resources that have the least latency. Each of the successive ancestor lgroups of a given leaf lgroup contains the next nearest resources to its child lgroup. The root lgroup contains all of the resources that are in the domain.

The resources of a given lgroup are contained directly within that lgroup or indirectly within the leaf lgroups that the given lgroup encapsulates. Leaf lgroups directly contain their resources and do not encapsulate any other lgroups.
