Resource Management Proximity Domains Data Types

The hypervisor defines the following data types for proximity domains:

A proximity domain is identified by a 32-bit number.


typedef UINT32 HV_PROXIMITY_DOMAIN_ID;

A partition uses the proximity domain identifier in the HV_PROXIMITY_DOMAIN_INFO structure to specify proximity domain information.

The Flags member of HV_PROXIMITY_DOMAIN_INFO controls the following proximity domain information:

The ProximityInfoValid flag indicates the validity of the proximity domain information. If ProximityInfoValid is set, the value of the Id member and the other flags are valid. Otherwise, a particular proximity domain is not specified and the hypervisor can use any domain.
The ProximityPreferred flag indicates that the value of the Id member specifies the preferred proximity domain instead of a required domain. If the hypervisor is unable to complete the operation by using that specific domain, the hypervisor can use other domains.
