Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Version 3.0 User's Guide
Manage identity pools—Stateless deployment
The I/O interfaces of a server, such as NICs or HBAs, have unique identity attributes that are assigned by the manufacturer of the interfaces. These unique identity attributes are collectively known as the I/O identity of a server. The I/O identities uniquely identify a server on a network and also determine how the server communicates with a network resource using a specific protocol. Using OpenManage Enterprise, you can automatically generate and assign virtual identity attributes to the I/O interfaces of a server.
Servers deployed by using a device configuration template that contains
virtual I/O identities are known as stateless. Stateless deployments
enable you to create a server environment that is dynamic and flexible.
For example, deploying a server with virtual I/O identities in a boot-from-SAN
environment enables you to quickly do the following:
Replace a failing or failed server by moving the I/O identity of the server to another spare server.
Deploy additional servers to increase the computing capability during high workload.
The Identity Pools tab allows you to create, edit, delete, or export virtual I/O pools.
