Server Administrator Storage Management 8.2 User’s Guide

Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.

After moving a physical disk from one controller to another, you may find that the physical disk contains all or some portion of a virtual disk (foreign configuration). You can identify whether a previously used physical disk contains a foreign configuration (virtual disk) by checking the physical disk state. If the physical disk state is Foreign, then the physical disk contains all or some portion of a virtual disk. Use the Clear Foreign Configuration task to clear or erase the virtual disk information from the newly attached physical disks.

To clear a foreign configuration:

Click Clear Foreign Configuration to clear or erase all virtual disks residing on physical disks is added to the controller.

To exit without clearing the foreign configuration, click Cancel.
