Import a Foreign Configuration

If you select advanced configuration, select the drive security method,
and add the drives to the drive group.
See Section 8.1.3, "Creating a Virtual Drive Using Advanced
Configuration" for the procedures used to import a foreign configuration.
After the drive group is secured, you cannot remove the security without
deleting the virtual drives.
After you create a security key, you can run a scan for a foreign
configuration and import a locked configuration. (You can import
unsecured or unlocked configurations when security is disabled.) A
foreign configuration is a RAID configuration that already exists on a
replacement set of drives that you install in a computer system.
WebBIOS Configuration Utility and MSM allows you to import the existing
configuration to the RAID controller or clear the configuration so you can
create a new one.
See Section 4.5.4, "Importing Foreign Configurations"
used to import a foreign configuration in WebBIOS or
"Importing or Clearing a Foreign Configuration"
MegaRAID Storage Manager.
To import a foreign configuration, you must first enable security to allow
importation of locked foreign drives. If the drives are locked and the
controller security is disabled, you cannot import the foreign drives. Only
unlocked drives can be imported when security is disabled.
After you enable the security, you can import the locked drives. To import
the locked drives, you must provide the security key used to secure them.
Verify whether any drives are left to import as the locked drives can use
different security keys. If there are any drives left, repeat the import
process for the remaining drives. After all of the drives are imported,
there is no configuration to import.
