Importing or Clearing a Foreign Configuration – Security-Enabled Drives

Perform the following steps to import or clear foreign configuration for security-enabled drives.

  1. Enable drive security to allow importation of security-enabled foreign drives.
  2. After you create a security key, navigate to the Controller dashboard, and click Configure, then click Foreign Configuration.
    If locked drives (security is enabled) exist, the Unlock Foreign Drives dialog appears.
  3. Enter the security key to unlock the configuration.
    The Foreign Configuration window appears, which lists all of the foreign configurations.
  4. Click one of the following options:
    • Import: Import the foreign configuration from all the foreign drives.
    • Clear: Remove the configuration from all the foreign drives.
  5. Click Re-Scan to refresh the window.
  6. Repeat the import process for any remaining drives because locked drives can use different security key, and you must verify whether there are any remaining drives to be imported.
