Importing Virtual Disk

Some Marvell IOCs such as the 88SE63xx/88SE64xx support importing of virtual disks created with other Marvell Storage controllers. If the IOC on your OEM host board supports importing of virtual disks, then the foreign virtual disk is recognized by the controller, as shown in Figure 1. To import this virtual disk, select Operation > Import Virtual Disk, as shown in Figure 2. However, if the IOC on your OEM host board does not support importing of virtual disks, then the physical disks comprising the foreign virtual disk are simply recognized as Foreign Physical Disks, as shown in Figure 3. To release these physicals disks from their foreign status, see section Erasing RAID Configuration Data on Foreign Physical Disk.
