A foreign configuration is a RAID configuration
that already exists on a replacement physical disk that you install
in a system. A secured foreign configuration is a RAID configuration
that was created under a different security key.
There are two scenarios in which a secured foreign import fails:
-
The passphrase authentication fails—A VD secured
with a security key different from the current controller security
key cannot be imported without authentication of the original passphrase
used to secure them. Supply the correct passphrase to import the secured
foreign configuration. If you have lost or forgotten the passphrase,
the secured foreign disks remain locked (inaccessible) until the appropriate
passphrase is entered or if they are
cryptograhically erased.
-
The secured VD is in an offline state after supplying
the correct passphrase
—You must check to determine why the virtual
disk failed and correct the problem. See the topic
Troubleshooting.
