FOREIGN

A disk can be reported as FOREIGN if it is removed from one Slicestor® device and inadvertently placed in a different Slicestor device. I/O operations are not allowed on a FOREIGN disk.

If a disk is in the FOREIGN state, you can issue a password-protected Reset operation through the Manager Web Interface that starts a disk reformat. The functionality is equivalent to the nut storage command.

A Reset action button is available for FOREIGN disks in the physical disk layout. This action reformats the disk. The Operator role cannot perform this action. A password is needed to proceed with the reset operation.
