Information
Use the command in the following table to manage configurations from other
controllers, called foreign configurations, for the selected controllers. You can scan,

NOTE: The actual status of virtual drives and drives can differ from the information displayed in
the –Scan option. LSI suggests that you run the –Preview option before you import a foreign

Table 78: Restore Configuration Data from File
Convention MegaCli –CfgRestore –f FileName -aN
Description Reads the configuration from the file, and loads it on the controller. MegaCLi
can store or restore all read and write controller properties, all read and write
properties for virtual drives, and the RAID configuration, including hot
spares. Note the following:
• MegaCLi does not validate the setup when restoring the RAID
configuration.
• The -CfgSave option stores the configuration data and controller
properties in the file. Configuration data has only the device ID and
sequence number information of the drives used in the configuration. The
CfgRestore
option fails if the same device IDs of the drives are not
present.

Description Manages foreign configurations. The options for this command follow:
-Scan : Scans and displays available foreign configurations.

unavailable, user data is irretrievably lost. You must be careful to never lose the security key.
-Preview : Provides a preview of the imported foreign configuration. The foreign configuration ID (FID) is optional.
-Dsply : Displays the foreign configuration.
-Import : Imports the foreign configuration. The FID is optional.
-Clear [FID] : Clears the foreign configuration. The FID is optional.
