Foreign Configuration View
When a foreign configuration is present, you can select Foreign
Configuration View to display the configuration. The screen shows the
foreign configuration as it would be if you import it. You can preview the
foreign configuration before you decide whether to import it or clear it.
In some cases, a foreign configuration cannot be imported. If a physical disk
in a virtual disk is rebuilding, the physical disk's state is set to Rebuild. No
virtual disk target ID displays for virtual disks that cannot be imported.
The section "Importing or Clearing Foreign Configurations Using the Foreign
Configuration View Screen" on page 64 contains the procedures you can use
to manage the foreign configurations.
NOTE: The BIOS Configuration Utility (<Ctrl><R>) reports error codes for failed
imports of foreign configurations.
