Reclaim virtual identities deployed by OME
15 Server Hardware Provisioning and OS Deployment by using Dell EMC OpenManage Essentials
8 Reclaim virtual identities deployed by OME
Example use case—A production server with a specific workload needs retired, and you wish to reclaim all
the virtual identities so OME can reuse these later.
Prerequisites:
The source device must have been deployed from OME by using a compute pool by using Virtual I/O.
1. Complete the reclaim identities wizard to begin the reclaim process.
2. Verify the task succeeded in the task execution history.
Note--It is possible to reclaim the identities for reuse in OME, whether or not the device is still visible in OME.
However, if the device was already deleted from OME, the reclaim operation will not be able to physically
remove the identities from the device, and if it were to be reconnected to the network in that case, it could
result in network conflicts if the identities have been reused. The wizard will not be accessible if there are no
deployed identities to reclaim.
