Implements functions that support resource management based on fixed-block allocations. In the block model, each resource has a maximum capacity and each consumer allocation uses a given percentage of that capacity. Used by Microsoft Provisioning Framework (MPF).

BlockModelRMO is installed as part of Resource Manager Engine, into Program Files\Microsoft Provisioning\Resource Manager\Providers\BlockModelRMO.dll.

Name	Block Model Resource Management Provider
Version	1
Provider Source	BlockModelRMO.BlockModelRMO

Procedure	Description
	Associates block-model resource capacity information with a candidate set of resource instances previously defined in the Resource Manager Database using the CoreRMO Provider.
Add Resource Type Data	Adds block model allocation data for a resource type.
Allocate	Allocates one or more consumers to a set of resource instances.
Delete Allocation	Deletes allocations that exist between consumers in the consumer target set and resources in the resource target set.
Move Allocation	Deletes allocations that exist between consumers in the consumer target set and resources in the source resource set and creates corresponding allocations for resources in the destination resource set.
Query Consumer Allocations	Returns all allocations between a consumer instance and a set of resources.
Query Resource Allocations	Returns all allocations between a resource instance and a set of consumers.
Query Resource Capacity Data	Returns the resource capacity data for a specified resource instance.
Query Resource Type Data	Returns the model data associated with a resource type.
Rank By Capacity	Ranks the resources in a candidate set according to one of the four resource capacity metrics. The rank can be based either on order of decreasing available capacity (default) or on increasing available capacity (for best fit).
Select By Capacity	Keeps resources in a candidate set that match the required capacity constraints. Constraints can be imposed on both the maximum and free values of actual and virtual capacity.
Update Allocation	Updates allocations that exist between consumers in the consumer target set and resources in the resource target set.
Update Resource Capacity Data	Updates capacity data associated with a set of resource instances. The update can be either relative or absolute. Relative updates add to previous values; absolute updates overwrite them.
Update Resource Type Data	Updates model data associated with a resource type.
Verify Resource Capacity Data	Checks that the resource capacity data in the database is within acceptable tolerance of the passed-in capacity data.
