Dell Lifecycle Controller 2 Release 1.4.0 User's Guide

The Foreign Configuration Found page is displayed only if a foreign configuration hard disk drive resides on the selected RAID controller.

A foreign configuration is a set of physical disk drives containing a RAID configuration that has been introduced to the system, but is not managed by the RAID controller to which it is attached. You may have a foreign configuration if physical disk drives have been moved from a RAID controller on another system to a RAID controller on the current system.

You have two options: Ignore Foreign Configuration and Clear Foreign Configuration.

• If the foreign configuration contains data that you require, click Ignore Foreign Configuration. If you click this option, the disk drive space containing the foreign configuration is not available for use in a new virtual drive.
• To delete all data on the physical disk drives containing the foreign configuration, click Clear Foreign Configuration. This option deletes the hard disk drive space containing the foreign configuration and makes it available for use in a new virtual drive.

After selecting one of the options, click Next.
