Foreign Configuration Operations
NOTE: Foreign Configuration Operations is available only on SAS controllers with
firmware versions 6.1 and later.
A foreign configuration is data residing on physical disks that has been moved
from one controller to another. Virtual disks residing on physical disks that
have been moved are considered to be a foreign configuration.
NOTE: It is not recommend to remove an external enclosure cable while the
operating system is running on the system. Removing the cable could result in a
foreign configuration when the connection is re-established.

controller detects a foreign configuration. Select this option and click

disks and enables you to perform operations such as, importing, recovering, or
clearing the foreign disks. You can also import or clear a locked foreign
configuration.
• If any foreign configurations locked using Local Key manager (LKM) are
detected, the associated
Encryption Key Identifier is displayed prompting
you to enter the corresponding Passphrase to unlock the drives.
