Clearing Foreign Conguration
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
After moving a physical disk from one controller to another, you may nd that the physical disk contains all or some portion of a virtual disk
(foreign conguration). You can identify whether a previously used physical disk contains a foreign conguration (virtual disk) by checking
the physical disk state. If the physical disk state is Foreign, then the physical disk contains all or some portion of a virtual disk. Use the
Clear Foreign Conguration task to clear or erase the virtual disk information from the newly attached physical disks.
NOTE
: The Clear Foreign Conguration task permanently destroys all data residing on the physical disks that are added to the
controller. If more than one foreign virtual disk is present, all the congurations are erased. You may prefer to import the virtual
disk rather than destroy the data.

Click Clear Foreign Conguration to clear or erase all virtual disks residing on physical disks is added to the controller.
