Compute Pools
A compute pool is a group of servers that you want to use for a specific purpose. Typically, the servers in
a compute pool share the same hardware configurations and attributes. Based on your requirement, you
can create compute pools for various purposes such as:
• Managing the workload
• Managing servers of a business unit
• Managing servers in a geographic region
Creating a compute pool allows you to quickly deploy a new server or replace an existing server in a
production environment.
NOTE: A compute pool can be associated with only one virtual I/O pool and one device
configuration template.
