:width: 90% Capacity Management Scenario :numref:`figure5` shows a detailed message flow between the consumers and the functional blocks inside the VIM and has the following steps: Step 1: The consumer subscribes to capacity change notifications Step 2: The Capacity Manager monitors the capacity information for the various types of resources by querying the various Controllers (e.g. Nova, Neutron, Cinder), either periodically or on demand and updates capacity information in the Capacity Map Step 3: Capacity changes are notified to the consumer Step 4: The consumer queries the Capacity Manager to retrieve capacity detailed information Resource Reservation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. figure:: images/figure6.png :name: figure6 :width: 90% Resource Reservation for Future Use Scenario :numref:`figure6` shows a detailed message flow between the consumers and the functional blocks inside the VIM and has the following steps: Step 1: The consumer creates a resource reservation request for future use by setting a start and end time for the allocation Step 2: The consumer gets an immediate reply with a reservation status message "reservationStatus" and an identifier to be used with this reservation instance "reservationID" Step 3: The consumer subscribes to reservation notification events Step 4: The Resource Reservation Manager checks the feasibility of the reservation request by consulting the Capacity Manager Step 5: The Resource Reservation Manager reserves the resources and stores the list of reservations IDs generated by the Controllers (e.g. Nova, Neutron, Cinder) in the Reservation Map Step 6: Once the reservation process is completed, the VIM sends a notification message to the consumer with information on the reserved resources Step 7: When start time arrives, the consumer creates a resource allocation request. Step 8: The consumer gets an immediate reply with an allocation status message "allocationStatus". Step 9: The consumer subscribes to allocation notification events Step 10: The Resource Allocation Manager allocates the reserved resources. If not all reserved resources are allocated before expiry, the reserved resources are released and a notification is sent to the consumer Step 11: Once the allocation process is completed, the VIM sends a notification message to the consumer with information on the allocated resources
