Server Fault Asked by Yesudass Moses on November 24, 2021
I have a DELL PowerEdge 2950 Server which has 6 Physical Hard Disks.
First 4 HDD are configured as RAID-5, and the rest two are configured as RAID-1.
From last week, third hard disk of RAID-5 shows status as “Foreign”.
How can I clear this status, and rebuild the hard disk without affecting other hard disks, or RAID configurations.
To clear the Foreign flag from the drive you would need to navigate to the Perc configuration in Dell Open Manage -> Information/Configuration link at the top of the page, Clear Foreign Configuration from the drop-down menu of available tasks.
You can refer to this link: https://www.dell.com/community/PowerEdge-HDD-SCSI-RAID/how-to-clear-a-foreign-state-from-a-replacement-sas-drive-on-a/td-p/3558875
Also, make sure that you have data backup doing anything with the RAID array.
Additionally, update all drivers and firmware to the latest versions.
