Performs a volume manage cast to the scheduler and to the volume manager.

This which will signal a transition of the api workflow to another child and/or related workflow.

execute(context, volume, **kwargs)

revert(context, result, flow_failures, volume, **kwargs)

get_flow(scheduler_rpcapi, db_api, create_what)

Constructs and returns the api entrypoint flow.

This flow will do the following:

1. Inject keys & values for dependent tasks.
2. Extracts and validates the input keys & values.
