Unlocking a Compute Pool
You can unlock a compute pool if you want to update the compute pool after the compute pool is deployed and locked. For example,
after unlocking a compute pool, you can edit the device conguration template, and then redeploy the servers in the compute pool.
To unlock 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 unlock, and then click Unlock.
3. At the conrmation prompt, click Yes.
The compute pool is unlocked. However, the servers in the compute pool that were already deployed remain in the deployed state.
Unlocking the compute pool also unlocks the associated device conguration template and virtual I/O pool.

deploy servers.
To edit the denitions of a compute pool:
1. Click Deployment.
The Deployment Portal is displayed.
2. On the left pane, under Compute Pools, right-click a compute pool, and then click Edit.
The Create Compute Pool Wizard is displayed.
3. Make the required changes to the denitions on the appropriate pages of the wizard.
4. On the Summary page, review the information, and then click Finish.
The changes you made to the compute pool are saved.
