4. On the Select Devices page, click Next.
5. On the Identity Assignments page, review the virtual I/O identity attributes, and then click Next.
6. On the Options page, select any of the following options based on your preference:
• Remove source from compute pool — Select to move the servers from the compute pool to the Repurpose and Bare
Metal Devices group after reclaiming the virtual I/O identities.
• Force reclaim action even if target cannot be contacted — Select to reclaim the virtual I/O identities of the server, even
if source server is unreachable.
7. Click Next.
8. On the Credentials page, type the user name and password of the iDRAC in the appropriate elds, and then click Next.
9. On the Summary page, review the selections you have made, and then click Finish.
The Reclaim Identities warning message is displayed.
10. If you want to continue reclaiming the virtual I/O identities of the server, click Yes.
The reclaim identities task is created and the task runs immediately. You can double-click the task in Task Execution History to view
the task execution details.
Reclaiming Assigned Virtual Input-Output Identities
You can also reclaim the assigned virtual I/O identities from a device based on your preference.
To reclaim the assigned virtual I/O identities:
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. Right-click a device on the grid and then click Reclaim Assigned Identities.
The reclaim assigned identities warning message is displayed.
5. If you want to continue reclaiming the assigned virtual I/O identities of the device, click Yes.
The reclaimed virtual I/O identities are returned to the virtual I/O pool.
Setting up device conguration auto deployment—Stateless deployment
The Setup Auto Deployment task enables you to deploy a conguration template, which includes a set of conguration attributes, to
devices that you will discover at a later time. Deploying a device conguration template on the devices ensures that the devices are
uniformly congured.
Before you create a device conguration auto deployment task, ensure that:
• The deployment le share is congured. For more information, see Conguring the Deployment File Share.
• The auto deployment setting is enabled and congured. For more information, see Conguring Auto Deployment Settings.
• The Service Tag or node ID of each target device is available in a .csv le. The Service Tags or node IDs should be listed under
the title ‘ServiceTag’, ‘Service Tag’, or ‘Node ID’ in the .csv le.
NOTE: On devices which have multiple compute nodes (such as the PowerEdge FM120x4), all of the compute nodes
have the same Service Tag. Therefore, the node ID must be used to identify the specic compute node to use. In
the .csv le, you must include the node IDs of the specic compute nodes that you want to auto deploy.
• You have either created a device conguration template or cloned a sample template.
