Foreign Disk
I have two MD1000s in a large RAID5 array with 15x 2tb drives in each. The other day one of my drives failed (the hot spare kicked in with no issues). I am now trying to replace the bad disk with a new one but the disk I am putting in keeps popping up in a 'Foreign' state. I have tried running through the 'Clear Foreign Configuration' wizard but that just kicks me back to the Storage Dashboard with no sign of any changes. If I try 'Import/Recover Foreign Config..' from the PERC menu I get an error saying it is not able to complete the process.

This can be closed. After rebooting the disk was in a 'Ready' state.
