Scanning for New Drives

MegaRAID Storage Manager software normally detects newly installed disk drives and other storage devices and displays icons for them on the main screen. If for some reason MegaRAID Storage Manager software does not detect a new drive, you can use the Scan for Foreign Configuration command to find it. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Select a controller icon in the left-hand panel.
  2. Select Operations >> Scan for Foreign Configuration.
  3. If MegaRAID Storage Manager software detects any new disk drives, it displays a list of them on the screen. A message appears on the screen if no foreign configuration is found.
