Name
|
Displays the name of the foreign configuration and is available as a link. This link enables you to access the physical disks that constitute the foreign disk.
|
State
|
Displays the current state of the foreign configuration. Possible values are:
- Ready — The foreign disk can be imported and functions normally after import.
- Degraded — The foreign disk is in degraded state and rebuilds after import.
- Failed — The foreign disk has encountered a failure and is no longer functioning. You cannot import the foreign configuration.
The foreign configuration may be in degraded or failed state due to any of the following reasons:
- Missing physical disk — One of the physical disk(s) in the potential virtual disk is missing or not available.
- Missing span — One or more spans of a hybrid virtual disk is missing.
- Stale physical disks — One or more physical disks in the configuration may contain out-of-date data relating to other disks of that virtual disk. Hence, the data integrity of the imported virtual disk is not intact.
- Unsupported configuration of the virtual disk — The virtual disk has an unsupported RAID level.
- Import and Export — The virtual disks available for import exceed the number of virtual disks available for export.
- Incompatible physical disks — Configuration on the physical disks is not recognized by the RAID firmware.
- Orphan drive — A physical disk in the foreign configuration has configuration information that matches another physical disk that is already a part of an array (either a foreign or a native array).
|
Layout
|
Displays the RAID level of the foreign configuration.
|
Remarks
|
Provides information about the foreign virtual disk. If the virtual disk cannot be imported, the reason for failure is displayed.
- Exceeded maximum — The number of virtual disks selected for import has exceeded the maximum number of supported disks.
- Missing physical disk or Missing span — One or more physical disk(s) or span(s) in the virtual disk to be imported is missing.
- Unsupported — The selected RAID level is not supported on this controller.
- Orphan drive — The physical disk has been replaced and is no longer a part of the RAID volume. The configuration should be cleared.
- Stale physical disk — The physical disk to be imported in the virtual disk has outdated data.
- Partially foreign — The virtual disk is part of an already existing configuration. Some physical disks in this virtual disk are foreign.

Dedicated Hot Spare
|
Displays whether the foreign disk is a dedicated hot spare.
