Foreign configuration not found in <ctrl> <R> error message

Error Message:
The foreign configuration message is present during POST but no foreign configurations are present in the foreign view page in <Ctrl> <R>. All virtual disks are in an optimal state.
Corrective Action:
Ensure all your PDs are present and all VDs are in optimal state. Clear the foreign configuration using <Ctrl> <R> or Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management.
CAUTION:The physical disk goes to Ready state when you clear the foreign configuration.

If you insert a physical disk that was previously a member of a virtual disk in the system, and that disk’s previous location has been taken by a replacement disk through a rebuild, you must manually remove the foreign configuration flag of the newly inserted disk.
