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 in each case. The import procedure and clear procedure are described in
Section4.12.3, Importing or Clearing a Foreign Configuration
The following scenarios can occur with cable pulls or drive removals.
NOTE: If you want to import the foreign configuration in any of the following scenarios,
you should have all of the drives in the enclosure before you perform the import
operation.

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.
