When reallocating a server blade, infrastructure orchestration must find a server blade that matches
the original logical server definition, and physical characteristics of the previously allocated server
blade, including processor architecture and model. In addition, the new server blade must have
at least the same number of processors, amount of memory, and processor speed. If infrastructure
orchestration cannot find a server blade that meets these requirements, the request fails.
After successfully completing the operation, the physical server blades are allocated and configured
into existing server profiles, physical and virtual servers are powered on, and the servers return to
normal operation.
If the operation fails, the servers are not available to activate.
