Importing Virtual Disk to Array

Some Marvell ROCs such as the 88RC8180 support importing of virtual disks created with other Marvell Storage controllers. If the ROC 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 ROC 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. To release these physicals disks from their foreign status, see section Erasing RAID Configuration Data on Foreign Physical Disk.
