Select
Import
to merge the foreign configurations with the existing
configuration on the controller or
Clear
to delete the foreign
configuration(s) from the re-inserted disk(s).
If you select
Import
, all drives that were pulled before the virtual disk
became offline are imported, and then automatically rebuilt.
NOTE: Start a consistency check immediately after the rebuild is
complete to ensure data integrity for the virtual disks. For more information
about checking data consistency, see "Checking Data Consistency" on
page 62.

If the physical disks in a non-redundant virtual disk are removed,
the controller considers the disks to have foreign configurations.
Perform the following steps:
a
Select
Foreign Configuration View to
display the complete foreign
configuration information.
b
Press <F2> to display the options
Import
and
Clear
.
c
Select
Import
to import the foreign configuration to the virtual disk or
Clear
to delete the foreign configuration(s) from the re-inserted
disk(s).
No rebuilds occur after the import operation because there is no
redundant data to rebuild the disks with.
Break Mirror
A Break Mirror operation is an operation that can be performed only on
RAID1 arrays. It provides a way to 'split' the mirror and spin-down one of the
hard disks, which can then be imported into the configuration of a different
PERC H310, H710, H710P, or H810 controller. This can be a useful way to:
• Create a disk image that can be imported and booted on a different
system.
• Assist in software or configuration testing, where half of the mirror can be
removed to ensure configuration consistency.
NOTE: The Break Mirror operation is not available within the booted
operating system environment. It is only available in the BIOS (Ctrl-R) utility
and the UEFI RAID configuration utility.
