boot identity profile to a NIC FQDD partition in another server, you must clear it from the server where it is first
applied.

To clear boot identity profiles:

Go to the Server Profiles page. In the Boot Identity profiles section, select the server from which you want to clear the boot
identity profile.
NOTE: This option is enabled only if any of the servers are selected and boot identity profiles are applied to the
selected servers.

Click Clear Identity.
