I have a server with LSI MegaRAID SAS 9286CV-8e. After an incident, this server which 4 VDs(RAID 6) only 2 are back. When I scan for foreign configurations it says 3 foreign configurations found. But none can be imported.

All the disks which belong to the Failed VDs, showing as "Foreign".

In the webbios, the VDs are showing "Not Importable"

When I preview a foreign config it shows disks missing.

I didn't clear any Foreign configuration yet.

What incident was happened? – Mikhail Khirgiy Apr 04 '17 at 17:49
it is a Raid card failure and replaced the raid card – user3536147 Apr 04 '17 at 19:25
Model of new raid card is the same as old one? – Mikhail Khirgiy Apr 04 '17 at 19:28
No it is different – user3536147 Apr 04 '17 at 20:04
Try to update RAID firmware. Before it unplug all disks. Did you have a mix of SAS and SATA disks in one array? – Mikhail Khirgiy Apr 05 '17 at 02:07
Did the same. Updated the card with the latest firmware.disconnected the JBOD, before doing the update. We don't have a mix of SAS and SATA drives. All of them as SATA. – user3536147 Apr 05 '17 at 07:47
Immediately after the replacement, all the 4 VDs were not shown and all the disks were shown as "Foreign". After the Firmware update, 2 VDs out of 4, are recognised. For other 2 VDs, all the disks are showing foreign still. – user3536147 Apr 05 '17 at 07:49
Do rescue from backup. – Mikhail Khirgiy Apr 05 '17 at 07:54
