State This property displays the current state of the foreign configuration.
Ready—The foreign disk can be imported and functions normally
after import.
Degraded—The foreign disk is in degraded state and rebuilds after
import.
Failed—The foreign disk has encountered a failure and is no longer
functioning. You cannot import the foreign configuration.
The foreign configuration may be in degraded or failed state due to
any of the following reasons:
• Missing physical disk—One of the physical disks in the potential
virtual disk is missing or not available.
• Missing Span—One or more span of a hybrid virtual disk is missing
• Stale physical disks—One or more physical disk in the
configuration may contain out-of-date data with respect to other
disks of that virtual disk. Hence, the data integrity of the imported
virtual disk is not intact.
• Unsupported configuration of the virtual disk—The virtual disk has
an unsupported RAID level.
• The virtual disks available for import exceed the number of virtual
disk available for export.
• Incompatible physical disks—Configuration on the physical disks is
not recognized by the RAID firmware.
• Orphan drive—A physical disk in the foreign configuration has
configuration information that matches another physical disk that
is already a part of an array (either a foreign or a native array).
NOTE: For other applicable physical disk tasks and properties, see
Physical Disk or Physical Device Properties and Tasks.
Layout This property displays the RAID level of the foreign configuration.
