Delete identity pools
You cannot delete an identity pool if the identities are reserved or assigned to a configuration template.
To delete an identity pool:
1. On the Configuration page, click Identity Pools.
2. Select the identity pool, and then click Delete.
3. Click Yes.
The identity pool is deleted and the reserved identities associated with one or more templates are removed.
Reclaim assigned virtual identities
You can reclaim the assigned virtual identities from a device based on your preference.
To reclaim the assigned virtual identities:
1. On the device name page, under Overview, click Configuration Profile > Reclaim identities.
The Reclaim Identites page is displayed.
2. If you want to continue reclaiming the assigned virtual identities of the device, click Yes.
NOTE:
During the reclaim process, the identities which are not deployed from OpenManage Enterprise are not
reclaimed and the System Configuration job fails. To reclaim these identities, you must use the 'Force reclaim
identities if removal fails' option.
After the identities are reclaimed, they can be associated to a different configuration template for stateless deployment tasks.
Migrate device profile
You can migrate the attributes of a device configuration template and the virtual identities of the source device to target devices. The
target servers must have identical Lifecycle Controller system, iDRAC, BIOS, RAID, and NIC configuration settings as that of the source
device.
To migrate the profile:
1. On the device name page, under Overview, click Configuration Profile > Migrate Profile.
2. Select the target device with identical hardware configuration as the source device.
NOTE:
During the migration process, the identities which are not deployed from OpenManage Enterprise are not
migrated and the System Configuration job fails. To migrate these identities, you must use the 'Force migration if
the profile removal fails' option.
