Foreign State: Foreign <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Cause

 There is meta data left in the newly replaced disk and due to which Foreign State is marked

Solution

Clear the Foreign State of the disk:

# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -CfgForeign -Clear -a0

if you receive any error try the command below:

# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli -CfgForeign -Clear -aALL

Reconfigure raid 0 on the hard disk (Note the 20:11 will be a device and slot number specific to your configuration and the disk with the foreign state)

# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -CfgLdAdd -R0 [20:11] WB NORA Direct NoCachedBadBBU -strpsz1024 -a0

Verify the disk status with the command below:

# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -pdlist -a0 |egrep 'Slot Number|Firmware state'


Example:
# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -CfgForeign -Clear -a0
Foreign configuration 0 is cleared on controller 0.
Exit Code: 0x00

# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -CfgLdAdd -R0 [20:11] WB NORA Direct NoCachedBadBBU -strpsz1024 -a0
Adapter 0: Created VD 11
Adapter 0: Configured the Adapter!!
Exit Code: 0x00

#  /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -pdlist -a0 |egrep 'Slot Number|Firmware state'
