Deleting a Compute Pool
To delete a compute pool:
1. Click Deployment.
The Deployment Portal is displayed.
2. On the left pane, under Compute Pools, right-click the compute pool that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
3. At the Delete Conrmation prompt, click Yes.
The compute pool is deleted and all servers from the pool are returned to the Repurpose and Bare Metal group. The virtual I/O pool
and the device conguration template that was associated with the compute pool are unlocked. However, virtual I/O identities that
were either assigned or deployed are retained by the servers.
NOTE: Even if the compute pool is deleted, the servers that were part of the compute pool remain in the deployed state.

Replacing a Server
The replace server task allows you to quickly replace a production server with another server from within the same compute pool.
For example, you can use the replace server task to quickly replace a failing or failed server with another spare server. When the
replace server task runs, the attributes of a device conguration template and the virtual I/O identities of the source server are
migrated to the target server.
Before you begin the replace server task, ensure that:
• The compute pool contains a minimum of two servers, one or both of the servers in a deployed state.
• The source server is deployed within the same compute pool.
• The target server is within the same compute pool as the source server.
To replace a server:
CAUTION: The replace server task may result in potentially destructive changes to the device conguration including
performance, connectivity, ability to boot the device, and/or data loss.
1. Click Deployment.
The Deployment Portal is displayed.
2. Perform one of the following:
• In the Common Tasks pane, click Replace Server.
• In the Compute Pools pane, right-click the compute pool that includes the server you want to replace, and then click
Replace Server.
The Replace Server Wizard wizard is displayed.
