Abstract

A method for managing resources in a server environment includes querying a first resource consumer for a list, wherein the list includes at least a first virtual resource and a first host resource. The method queries a host resource pool to determine if the first host resource is present. Responsive to determining the first host resource is present in the host resource pool, the method allocates the first host resource to the first resource consumer. The method sends a request to activate the first virtual resource and the first host resource to a virtual resource provider and a host resource provider, wherein the request to activate the first virtual resource and the first host resource is performed on a single thread. The method determines to prepare one or more virtual resources for activation of one or more allocated host resources.
