Set Foreign Physical Disk to Native

A physical disk is considered to be native when it is a part of a storage array disk group. A physical disk is considered to

be foreign when it does not belong to a storage array disk group or when it fails to be imported with the physical disks of

a disk group that are transferred to a new storage array. The latter failure creates an incomplete disk group on the new

storage array.

Description

Run this command to add the missing (foreign) physical disks back into their original disk group and to make them part of
the new storage array disk group configuration of the new storage array.
Use this operation for emergency recovery only: when one or more physical disks must be changed from a foreign
physical disk status and returned to a native status within their original disk group.

CAUTION: Using this command for purposes other than what is stated above might result in data corruption or data
loss without notification.
