Instruction Manual

Configuring and Managing RAID 95
2 If all the physical disks in a virtual disk are removed at different times and
re-inserted, the controller considers the disks to have foreign
configurations. Perform the following steps:
a Select Foreign Configuration View to display the complete virtual
disk, across different foreign configurations and allow foreign
configurations to be imported.
b Press <F2> to display the options Import and Clear .
NOTE: You must have all the drives in the system before you perform
the import operation.
c Select Import to merge the foreign configurations with the existing
configuration on the controller or
Clear to delete the foreign
configuration(s) from the re-inserted disk(s).
If you select
Import , all drives that were pulled before the virtual disk
became offline are imported, and then automatically rebuilt.
NOTE: Start a consistency check immediately after the rebuild is
complete to ensure data integrity for the virtual disks. For more information
about checking data consistency, see "Checking Data Consistency" on
page 91.
3 If the physical disks in a non-redundant virtual disk are removed,
the controller considers the disks to have foreign configurations.
Perform the following steps:
a Select Foreign Configuration View to display the complete foreign
configuration information.
b Press <F2> to display the options Import and Clear .
c Select Import to import the foreign configuration to the virtual disk or
Clear to delete the foreign configuration(s) from the re-inserted
disk(s).
No rebuilds occur after the import operation because there is no
redundant data to rebuild the disks with.
