PowerShell Management Provision

Problem this snippet solves:

This is a Powershell iControl Sample illustrating how to use the module resource provisioning methods to manage the partitioning of memory, disk, and cpu across the modules licensed to run on the BIG-IP system.

This script will query the resource provision, set the values of LTM and GTM to custom with custom ratios, and reset them back to their default "nominal" values.
