Probable Cause
This message occurs under
the following conditions:
• The adapter detects data
in the controller cache
that has not yet been
written to the disk
subsystem.
• The controller detects an
Error-Correcting Code
(ECC) error while
performing its cache
checking routine during
initialization.
• The controller discards
the cache rather than
sending it to the disk
subsystem because the
data integrity cannot be
guaranteed.
• The battery may be
under charged.
When a controller
firmware detects a physical
disk with existing foreign
metadata, it flags the
physical disk as foreign and
generates an alert
indicating that a foreign
disk was detected.
Corrective Action
Allow the battery to
charge fully to resolve
this problem. If the
issue persists, the
battery or adapter
DIMM might be faulty;
contact Dell Technical
Support.
Contact Dell Technical
Support.
Press <F> at the
prompt to import the
configuration (if all
member disks of the
virtual disk are present)
without loading the
BIOS Configuration
Utility. Or, press <C>
to enter the BIOS
Configuration Utility
and either import or
clear the foreign
configuration.
