Foreign Conguration Found
The Foreign Conguration Found page is displayed only if a foreign conguration hard disk drive resides on the selected RAID
controller.
NOTE: If you have selected an S110 RAID controller, the foreign disk drives are displayed as non-RAID hard disk drives in
Lifecycle Controller. You must initialize them to create a virtual disk.
A foreign conguration is a set of physical disk drives containing a RAID conguration that has been introduced to the system, but is
not managed by the RAID controller to which it is attached. You may have a foreign conguration if physical disk drives have been
moved from a RAID controller on another system to a RAID controller on the current system.
You have two options: Ignore Foreign Conguration and Clear Foreign Conguration.
• If the foreign conguration contains data that you require, click Ignore Foreign Conguration. If you click this option, the disk
drive space containing the foreign conguration is not available for use in a new virtual drive.
• To delete all data on the physical disk drives containing the foreign conguration, click Clear Foreign Conguration. This option
deletes the hard disk drive space containing the foreign conguration and makes it available for use in a new virtual drive.
After selecting one of the options, click Next.
Viewing Current RAID Conguration
The View Current RAID Conguration and Select Controller page displays the attributes of any virtual disks already congured on
the supported RAID controllers attached to the system. You have two options:
• Accept the existing virtual disks without changing. To select this option, click Back. If you have to install the operating system on
an existing virtual disk, make sure that the virtual disk size and RAID level are correct.
• Use the RAID conguration wizard to delete all the existing virtual disks and create only single and new virtual disk to be used as
the new boot device. To select this option, click Next.
NOTE: RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy and hot spare. Other RAID levels provide data redundancy and
enable you to reconstruct data in the event of a disk drive failure.
NOTE: You can create only one virtual disk using Lifecycle Controller. To create multiple virtual disks, use option
ROM. To access option ROM, press <Ctrl + R> during boot or Power-on Self-test (POST).
Selecting RAID Controller
The View Current RAID Conguration and Select Controller page displays all supported RAID controllers attached to the system.
Select the RAID controller on which you want to create the virtual disk, and then click Next.
