Fixing a Foreign disk

• To use the disk, you can perform any of the following actions to remove the Foreign status

and make the storage available:

◦ Reconfigure RAID from the RAID Setup Tasks menu.

◦ Add the disk to RAID on the Disk Setup Tasks menu.

◦ Manually delete partitions from the disk using the hypervisor.

• If you don’t want to use the disk, for example, if you added the wrong disk to the StoreVirtual

VSA, you can remove it from the StoreVirtual VSA using the hypervisor, and choose a new

disk.

Verifying disk status

Check the Disk Setup window to determine the status of disks and to take appropriate action on

individual disks when preparing to replace them.

NOTE: For hardware-specific disk LED or component information for your storage system, see

“Identifying the storage system hardware” (page 14) for document titles and document links.
