c. Click Next.
9. On the Preview page:
a. Optional: Click Preview to verify if the attributes of the device configuration template will be
deployed successfully on the target devices.
b. Click Next.
10. On the Summary page, review the information that you have provided, and then click Finish.
The Deploy Template warning is displayed.
11. If you want to continue the deployment, click Yes.
The Deploy Template task is created and the task runs based on the schedule you have selected. You can
double-click the task in Task Execution History to view the task execution details. After the deployment
is completed successfully, the template deployed icon
and the text, Deployed, are displayed along
with the device name in the compute pool.
NOTE: On stateless deployment for FCoE protocol, the first octet for WWNN will be 20:00 and the
first octet for the WWPN will be 20:01. The remaining octets will be the same as the virtual FIP MAC
address.

Automatic Locking of a Compute Pool
After the first successful deployment of any server in a compute pool, the compute pool is automatically
locked. When a compute pool is locked, the associated device configuration template and the virtual I/O
pool are also locked. A lock icon is displayed in the user interface to indicate that the resource is
locked. Locking of the compute pool ensures that all servers in the pool utilize the same device
configuration template and virtual I/O pool. You can only perform the following on a locked compute
pool:
View the definitions of the compute pool
Add or remove servers from the compute pool
Deploy servers that are members of the compute pool
NOTE: If you want to use a locked device configuration template for other purposes, you can clone
and use the device configuration template.
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
configuration template, and then redeploy the servers in the compute pool.
To unlock a compute pool:
1. Click Deployment.
