Parameters

Parameter

Description

eventType

This parameter is the integer value for the event. 

Enter the event value in a hexadecimal format, for 

example, 0x280D. Always begin the hexadecimal 

value with 0x to indicate that it is in hexadecimal 

format. If you do not use 0x, the value will be 

interpreted as a decimal and converted to a 

hexadecimal value, before applying the block or 

unblock command. This can cause an incorrect 

event to be blocked or unblocked.

An error is displayed if you enter an invalid event.

Set Foreign Physical Disk to Native

A physical disk is considered to be native when it is a part of a storage array disk group. A physical disk is 

considered to be foreign when it does not belong to a storage array disk group or when it fails to be 

imported with the physical disks of a disk group that are transferred to a new storage array. The latter 

failure creates an incomplete disk group on the new storage array.

Description

Run this command to add the missing (foreign) physical disks back into their original disk group and to 
make them part of the new storage array disk group configuration of the new storage array.

Use this operation for emergency recovery only: when one or more physical disks must be changed from 
a foreign physical disk status and returned to a native status within their original disk group.

CAUTION: Using this command for purposes other than what is stated above might result in data 
corruption or data loss without notification.
