If it is the replacement drive reporting foreign you do not want to import the configuration as it was never part of the RAID array.  Is the state of your RAID 5 degraded? If so, you can tab over to the Foreign View tab, hit F2 on the Controller 0, and select to Clear Foreign under Foreign Config.  This should put the replacement drive into a Ready state, from which you can select to assign it as a global hot spare, that will kick off a rebuild.
Hello everyone !! I've a big trouble with a PE 2950 with a perc6/i ctrl and raid 5 system. the disk number 5 blinked amber and the utility mark the drive as broken. I've replace the disk and now it blink green...but... I cannot rebuild the disk !! How to do it ?? I started from bios (CTRL+R at boot) the utility and it recognized the new disk as forreign. When I hit F2 (operation key) over the new disk, I can only start or stop blinking. The Rebuild menù is not available... How can I do ?? Shall I import the forreign config ?? Thanks everyone in advance for your help,   Cheers,   Steve
