11.5.12 Importing or Clearing a
Foreign Configuration
Perform the following steps to disable drive security.
1. Select the Physical View tab in the left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager
main menu, and click a controller icon.
2. Select Go To>Controller>Disable Drive Security, as shown in Figure 256.
Figure 256: Disable Drive Security Option
The Confirm Disable Drive Security screen appears.
3. To disable drive security, click Yes.
MSM disables drive security and returns you to the main menu.
NOTE: If you disable drive security, you cannot create any new encrypted virtual drives
and the data on all encrypted unconfigured drives will be erased. Disabling drive
security will not affect the security or data of foreign drives.
A foreign configuration is a RAID configuration that already exists on a replacement set
of drives that you install in a computer system. You can use MSM to import the foreign
configuration to the RAID controller or to clear the foreign configuration so you can
create a new configuration using these drives.
To import a foreign configuration, you must do the following:
 Enable security to allow importation of locked foreign configurations. (You can
import unsecured or unlocked configurations when security is disabled.)
 Run a scan for foreign configurations.
 If a locked foreign configuration is present and security is enabled, enter the
security key and unlock the configuration.
 Import the foreign configuration.
