Importing or Clearing Foreign Configurations Using the VD Mgmt Menu
When a foreign configuration exists, the BIOS banner displays the message
Foreign configuration(s) found on adapter . In addition,
a foreign configuration, when present, appears on the right side of the
VD Mgmt screen.
You can use the VD Mgmt menu to import the existing configuration to the
RAID controller or clear the existing configuration to create a new one. In
addition, you can view the foreign drive data from the Foreign View tab
without importing the configuration.
NOTE:
The controller does not allow an import that results in more than 64 virtual
disks.
