Glossary

Instead of creating a logical drive, as described in Using the pcli Utility to Create a Bootable Drive (SPARC) , you might need to import an existing logical drive (MegaRAID virtual disk) configuration from a different MegaRAID controller. To import an existing configuration, complete the steps in this section.

To Import an Existing Logical Drive Configuration From a Different Controller (SPARC)

Note - Only MegaRAID logical drives can be imported; Integrated RAID (IR) logical drives cannot be imported.

Use the -LdPdInfo command to ensure that the logical drive (virtual disk) on the existing controller is recognized by the system.
```
{0} ok cli -LdPdInfo
Adapter #0
Number of Virtual Disks: 1
Virtual Disk: 0 (Target Id: 0)
```

Use the -CfgForeign -Import command to import the logical drive to the HBA.
```
{0} ok cli -CfgForeign -Import
```

Create an alias for the drive, as described in Creating an Alias for a Bootable Drive (SPARC).
