scope:

Resource Allocation Profile

Clause 5 sets the basic resource allocation pattern for resource pools, allocations, and setting data. It also defines the resource-pool-lifecycle management and relationships.

System Virtualization Profile

Clause 6 is an autonomous profile that specifies the minimum top-level object model needed for the representation of host systems and the discovery of hosted virtual computer systems. In addition, it specifies a service for the manipulation of virtual computer systems and their resources, including operations for the creation, deletion, and modification of virtual computer systems and operations for the addition or removal of virtual resources to or from virtual computer systems. 

Allocation Capabilities Profile

Clause 7 extends the management capability of referencing profiles by adding the ability to represent the default, supported and range of property values for resource allocation requests for a given resource, and the mutability of properties in a Resource Allocation Setting Data instance.

Processor Resource Virtualization Profile

Clause 8 is a component profile that extends the management capabilities of the specialized profiles by adding the support to represent and manage the allocation of processor resources to virtual systems.

Memory Resource Virtualization Profile

Clause 9 is a component DMTF management profile that extends the management capabilities of the referencing profile by adding the support to represent and manage the allocation of memory to virtual systems. 

Storage Resource Virtualization Profile Clause 10 is a component profile that extends the management capabilities of the referencing profile by adding the support to represent and manage the allocation of storage to virtual systems. 

Ethernet Port Resource Virtualization Profile Clause 11 is a component DMTF management profile that extends the management capabilities of the referencing profile by adding the support to represent and manage the allocation of Ethernet ports to virtual systems. 

Virtual System Profile

Clause 12 is an autonomous profile that defines the minimum object model needed to provide for the inspection of a virtual system and its components. In addition, it defines optional basic control operations for activating, deactivating, pausing, or suspending a virtual system. 

Generic Device Resource Virtualization Profile

Clause 13 is a concrete component profile that specializes the abstract Resource Allocation Profile described in clause 5 and the abstract Allocation Capabilities Profile described in clause 7.

Clause 13 is intended for use when a more specific resource allocation profile (for example, the Processor Resource Virtualization Profile described in clause 8, the Memory Resource Virtualization Profile described in clause 9, and so on) for common resource types has not yet been defined or approved, or when the device in question is an unusual device type for which no more specific profile exists.

Virtual Ethernet Switch Profile

Clause 14 is an autonomous DMTF management profile that defines the minimum object model needed to provide for the inspection of a virtualization system's internal Ethernet switch and its components.
