  • Requests for product, service, or learning material recommendations are off-topic because they attract low quality, opinionated and spam answers, and the answers become obsolete quickly. Instead, describe the business problem you are working on, the research you have done, and the steps taken so far to solve it. Consider reading he manuals as a starting point. – TomTom May 21 '17 at 07:24

If one of your disk is marked as "Foreign", it means that the RAID controller did not include it in the current array because it seems a member of another ("foreign") array.

From the RAID controller BIOS, OMSA or iDRAC you can clear the disk's foreign config and import it into the array. However, extreme care should be used because any error can bring down the entire array, with a catastrophic data loss.

  • I have noticed, in my logs there is a " The Controller write policy has changed to write through, Battery 0 ,Controller 0 – Bodhi May 21 '17 at 10:06
  • This has nothing to do with the foreign disk. I strongly suggest you to solve one problem at time. Moreover, please download the PERC user guide and read it. – shodanshok May 21 '17 at 10:32
