Importing Foreign Configurations

First, faulty drives do NOT show physical damage that can be seen by inspecting the drive. If a drive does show physical damage - like from being dropped - there is a very good likelihood that it is damaged internally and should not be used.

I don't completely understand your situation (translator), but let me give you the rules:

• IMPORT - ONLY import if the array is OFFLINE and there is more than one disk failed. You would also import if moving disks/arrays to a new controller or system.
• CLEAR - ONLY clear if the array is ONLINE and functional. A disk may show as foreign if it fails or removed or if a disk(s) is added to the system, either as a replacement for a failed drive or adding more capacity to the server.

I can't see your picture, but from the sounds of it, you have an online array with possibly a failed disk which is now showing as foreign. IF that is the case, you want to CLEAR the foreign configuration, then add the disk as a hot-spare to start it rebuilding. I would run diagnostics on the drive before rebuilding it though, to make sure it is healthy enough to be used.
