rsm_get_interconnect_topology, rsm_free_interconnect_topology - get or
free interconnect topology
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lrsm [ library... ]
#include <rsmapi.h>
int rsm_get_interconnect_topology(rsm_topology_t **topology_data);
void rsm_free_interconnect_topology(rsm_topology_t *topology_data);
DESCRIPTION
The rsm_get_interconnect_topology(3RSM) and rsm_free_intercon‐
nect_topology(3RSM) functions provide for access to the interconnect
controller and connection data. The key interconnect data required for
export and import operations includes the respective cluster nodeids
and the controller names. To facilitate applications in the establish‐
ment of proper and efficient export and import policies, a delineation
of the interconnect topology is provided by this interface. The data
provided includes local nodeid, local controller name, its hardware
address, and remote connection specification for each local controller.
An application component exporting memory can thus find the set of
existing local controllers and correctly assign controllers for the
creation and publishing of segments. Exported segments may also be
efficiently distributed over the set of controllers consistent with the
hardware interconnect and application software.
An application component which is to import memory must be informed of
the segment id(s) and controller(s) used in the exporting of memory,
this needs to be done using some out-of-band mechanism. The topology
data structures are defined in the <rsmapi.h> header.
The rsm_get_interconnect_topology() returns a pointer to the topology
data in a location specified by the topology_data argument.
The rsm_free_interconnect_topology() frees the resources allocated by
rsm_get_interconnect_topology().
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, rsm_get_interconnect_topology() returns 0.
Otherwise, an error value is returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The rsm_get_interconnect_topology() function can return the following
errors:
RSMERR_BAD_TOPOLOGY_PTR Invalid topology pointer.
RSMERR_INSUFFICIENT_MEM Insufficient memory.
RSMERR_BAD_ADDR Bad address.
