3.4.3.2 Advanced 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. 3.4.4 Import a Foreign Configuration 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" for the procedure used to import a foreign configuration in WebBIOS or Section 8.2.4, "Importing or Clearing a Foreign Configuration" for the procedure in 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. 3-6 Full Disk Encryption
