4.8.3.1 Foreign Configurations in Cable Pull and Drive Removal Scenarios
If one or more drives are removed from a configuration, by a cable pull
or drive removal, for example, the configuration on those drives is
considered a foreign configuration by the RAID controller.
Use the Foreign Configuration Preview screen to import or clear the
foreign configuration in each case. The import procedure and clear
procedure are described in
Section 4.8.3, “Importing or Clearing a
Foreign Configuration.”
The following scenarios can occur with cable pulls or drive removals.
Note: If you want to import the foreign configuration in any of the
following scenarios, you should have all of the drives in the
enclosure before you perform the import operation.
