Unfail all the drives in the enclosure one at a time to set them to a Spare state.If they do not correspond, DO NOT proceed with the next steps as it can result in data loss. Then run the command disk show raid-info and make sure the drives reporting Foreign are in the new enclosure before proceeding. Run the command enclosure show summary to locate the enclosure serial number. Match the serial number of the enclosure to the Foreign drives.When adding an expansion shelf to a system that was previously attached to a different Data Domain system, the drives will report a Foreign state if the enclosure was not removed properly.To add the enclosure to the new system, the drives must be in a Spare or Unknown state.This will push down the main board serial number to the drives and allow them to be used by the system. Follow the instructions in the chassis replacement documentation by running the system headswap command.
The Foreign state is normal after a chassis swap where the head swap was done in the “System Misconfigured” menu.
