Importing foreign configuration
Perform this task to import the configuration of an old storage controller to a new storage controller
after the old storage controller is replaced.
Restrictiond and guidelines
On the server with RAID configuration, after a storage controller is replaced, the current RAID
configuration will be identified as Foreign Configuration. In this case, if you clear foreign
configuration, the RAID configuration will get lost.
To avoid failure in importing foreign configuration, replace a storage controller with a new one of the
same model.
When the number of failed or missing drives exceeds the maximum allowable by a RAID array, the
RAID array cannot be imported successfully.
Procedure
