4. Choose one of the following options:
— Click Import to import the foreign configuration from all of the foreign drives.
— Click Clear to remove the configuration from all foreign drives.
— Click Advanced to preview and import specific foreign configurations.
5. Click OK.
NOTE The operation cannot be reversed after it is started. Imported drives
display as Online in the MegaRAID Storage Manager window.
6. Repeat the import process for any remaining drives.
Because locked drives can use different security key, you must verify whether there are any remaining drives to be
imported.
NOTE When you create a new configuration, the MegaRAID Storage
Manager software shows only the unconfigured drives. Drives that
have existing configurations, including foreign configurations, do not
appear. To use drives with existing configurations, you must first clear
the configuration on those drives.
12.12.4.1 Foreign Configurations in Cable Pull and Drive Removal Scenarios
If one or more drives are removed from a configuration, by a cable pull or drive removal, for example, the
configuration on those drives is considered a foreign configuration by the RAID controller.
The following scenarios can occur with cable pulls or drive removals. Use the Foreign Configuration Preview dialog
to import or clear the foreign configuration in each case.
NOTE If you want to import the foreign configuration in any of the following
scenarios, you must have all of the drives in the enclosure before you
perform the import operation.
Scenario #1: If all of the drives in a configuration are removed and re-inserted, the controller considers the drives
to have foreign configurations.
Import or clear the foreign configuration. If you select Import, automatic rebuilds will occur in redundant virtual
drives.
NOTE Start a consistency check immediately after the rebuild is complete to
ensure data integrity for the virtual drives. See Running a Consistency
Check for more information about checking data consistency.
