Virtual Input-Output Pools
Viewing the Virtual Input-Output Identities Assigned or Deployed on a Device
Deployed I/O identities are identities from a virtual I/O pool that are deployed on target devices. Assigned I/O identities are identities
from a virtual I/O pool that are assigned to target devices prior to deploying the devices. You can assign virtual I/O identities to
target devices using the Edit Attributes → Identity Attributes tab of the Deploy Template Wizard.
To view the virtual I/O identities that are assigned or deployed on a device:
NOTE: If you want to view all devices and their assigned or deployed virtual I/O identities, click Reports → Server
Conguration → Assigned Identity Attributes.
1. Click Deployment.
The Deployment Portal is displayed.
2. Under Virtual I/O Pools on the left pane, select a virtual I/O pool.
The Virtual I/O Pool Summary page is displayed on the right pane.
3. On the Virtual I/O Pool Summary page, click the Devices with Identities tab.
Devices with assigned or deployed virtual I/O identities are displayed on a grid.
4. Perform one of the following:
• Right-click a device on the grid, and then click View Identities.
• Double-click a device on the grid.
The Identity Assignments window displays the virtual I/O identities that are either assigned or deployed on the device.
Compute Pools
A compute pool is a group of servers that you want to use for a specic purpose. Typically, the servers in a compute pool share the
same hardware congurations and attributes. Based on your requirement, you can create compute pools for various purposes such
as:
• Managing the workload
• Managing servers of a business unit
• Managing servers in a geographic region
Creating a compute pool allows you to quickly deploy a new server or replace an existing server in a production environment.
NOTE: A compute pool can be associated with only one virtual I/O pool and one device conguration template.
