Removing a Server From a Compute Pool
You can remove a server from a compute pool based on your requirement. For example, you can remove a server from a compute
pool for the purpose of moving the server to another compute pool or for deploying the server without virtual I/O identities.
To remove a server from a compute pool:
1. Click Deployment.
The Deployment Portal is displayed.
2. On the left pane, under Compute Pools, right-click the server that you want to remove from the compute pool, and then click
Remove from Pool.
3. At the conrmation prompt, click Yes.
The server is removed from the compute pool and is moved to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices group.

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 Conrmation 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 conguration 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 conguration 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:
