Physical disk reported as Foreign

This topic describes the scenarios when a disk that is part of a RAID array may be reported as Foreign.

A physical disk state may be displayed as Foreign if:

  • The disk is located out of the array for an extended period of time.
  • The disk is removed out of the array and reseated.

To include a Foreign disk in the volume, you can clear the foreign configuration and reset the controller configuration.
