When a foreign configuration exists, the BIOS banner displays the message
Foreign configuration(s) found on adapter. In addition,
a foreign configuration, when present, appears on the right side of the
VD Mgmt screen.
You can use the VD Mgmt menu to import the existing configuration to the

without importing the configuration.

disks.
