Foreign Configuration Not Found in <Ctrl><R> Error Message
Error Message: The foreign configuration message is
present during POST but no foreign configurations are
present in the foreign view page in CTRL+R. All
virtual disks are in an optimal state.
Corrective Action: Ensure all your PDs are present and all VDs are in optimal
state. Clear the foreign configuration using <Ctrl><R> or Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management.
CAUTION: The physical disk goes to Ready state when you clear the foreign
configuration.
If you insert a physical disk that was previously a member of a virtual disk in
the system, and that disk’s previous location has been taken by a replacement
disk through a rebuild, you must manually remove the foreign configuration
flag of the newly inserted disk.

(<Ctrl><R>) to clear the foreign configuration.
