Chapter 11: Using MegaRAID® Advanced Software | SafeStore Encryption Services MegaRAID SAS Software User Guide In addition, if one or more drives are removed from a configuration, by a cable pull or drive removal for example, the configuration on those drives is considered a foreign configuration by the RAID controller. 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 the drives are imported, there is no configuration to import. NOTE: When you create a new configuration, MSM shows only the unconfigured drives. Drives that have existing configurations, including foreign configurations, will not appear. To use drives with existing configurations, you must first clear the configuration on those drives. Perform the following steps to import or clear a configuration. 1. Enable drive security to allow importation of locked foreign drives. See Section 11.5.9, Enabling Drive Security using LKM for the procedure used to enable drive security. 2. After you create a security key, right-click the controller icon and click Scan for Foreign Configuration. If there are locked drives (security is enabled), the Unlock foreign drives dialog box appears. 3. Enter the security key to unlock the configuration. The Foreign Configuration Detected screen appears, as shown in Figure 257. Page 370 Figure 257: Foreign Configuration Detected Screen 4. Click Import to import the foreign configuration from all of the foreign drives, Clear to remove the configuration from all foreign drives, or Advanced to preview and import specific foreign configurations. 5. Click OK. NOTE: The operation cannot be reversed after it is started. Imported drives display as Online in the MegaRAID Storage Manager menu.
