Importing an Existing Logical Drive Configuration (SPARC)

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.
  1. Issue the /c0/fall command to display any foreign logical volumes which might exist.

    Note -  A foreign logical volume is logical volume created on a different controller, and then the logical volume disks are moved to this controller. Do not use foreign logical volumes without explicit consent from the administrator of the foreign logical volumes.
  2. Use the /c0/fforeign-logical-volume-number import command to import the logical drive to the HBA.

    In the example below, the foreign logical volume, 2, is specified for importing.

    {0} ok cli /c0/f2 import
