Foreign Configuration View
When a foreign configuration is present, you can select Foreign
Configuration View to display the configuration. This screen shows the
foreign configuration as it would be if you import it. You can preview the
foreign configuration before you decide whether to import it or clear it.
In some cases, a foreign configuration cannot be imported. If a physical disk
in a virtual disk is rebuilding, the physical disk's state is set to Rebuild. For the
virtual disks, the text Importable or Not Importable displays next to
each virtual disk. No virtual disk target ID displays for virtual disks that
cannot be imported.

Configuring and Managing RAID
Description
Select this option to enable the controller BIOS. If the boot
device is on the RAID controller, the BIOS must be enabled.
Disable the BIOS to use other boot devices.
In a multiple controller environment, you can enable BIOS on
multiple controllers. However, if you want to boot from a
specific controller, then enable the BIOS on that controller
and disable it on the other controllers. The system can then
boot from the BIOS-enabled controller.
Select this option to enable or disable the audible alarm on
the controller, if alarm hardware is present. The alarm sounds
to warn you of any problems with the physical disks or the
virtual disks.
Select this option to stop the system BIOS during bootup if
there are BIOS errors. This option enables you to enter the
configuration utility to resolve the problem.
Select this option to specify a virtual disk as the boot disk on
the controller.
This option displays if you have built virtual disks.
Select this option to restore the default settings for the
options in the Settings box.
