USC and USC-LCE Operations
Foreign Configuration Found
The Foreign Configuration Found screen displays only if a foreign
configuration resides on the selected RAID controller.
NOTE:
If you have selected an S100 and S300 RAID controller, the foreign disks are
displayed as Non-RAID disks in USC-LCE. You must initialize them to create a virtual
disk.
A foreign configuration is a set of physical disks containing a RAID
configuration that has been introduced to the system but is not yet managed
by the RAID controller to which it is attached. You may have a foreign
configuration if physical disks 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 want to keep,
select
Ignore Foreign Configuration
. If you select this option, the disk
space containing the foreign configuration is not available for use in a
new virtual disk.
• To delete all data on the physical disks containing the foreign
configuration, select
Clear Foreign Configuration
. This option frees the
disk space containing the foreign configuration and makes it available for
use in a new virtual disk.
Click Next after making your selection.
