Foreign Configuration Operations


A foreign configuration is data residing on physical disks that have been moved from one controller to another. Virtual disks residing on physical disks that
have been moved are considered to be a foreign configuration.

The Foreign Configuration Operations option is displayed only when a controller detects a foreign configuration. Select this option and click Execute to
display the Foreign Configuration Preview page.

The Foreign Configuration Operations task displays the foreign configuration preview of the foreign disks and enables you to perform operations such as,
importing, recovering, or clearing the foreign disks.

Some conditions, such as an unsupported RAID level or an incomplete disk group, can prevent the import or recovery of foreign virtual disks.
NOTE: The Export Log File command is not supported on the SAS 5/iR and SAS 6/iR controllers. In addition, some of the non-RAID controllers do not
support the Export Log File command.
NOTE: Foreign Configuration Operations is available only on SAS controllers with firmware versions 6.1 and later.
