If I try to edit the config - it just says "configuration is not allowed! error code : unknown"

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a Dell poweredge 610 with a 6 disk RAID 10 config. &nbsp;I came in today and it was down - power outage or something i guess. &nbsp;So it's sitting at &quot;Foreign configurations found on adapter. &nbsp;press any key to continue or load the configuration utility or F to import the foreign configs and continue. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
There are offline or missing virtual disks with preserved cache. &nbsp;Please check the cables and ensure that all drivers are present. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have tried to import the config through the utility and it fails to import. &nbsp;I don't know the exact way it was setup by dell to try and rebuild the array exactly the same (without initializing) to try and recover the data. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Anyone have any suggestions?

RAID 10 won't boot - no config?

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.

Disaster Recovery

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

RAID is data storage technology that allows multiple drives to be used together as a single virtual drive for reasons such as fault tolerance, reliability and performance. 

There are several different levels of RAID that determine how the data is stored and the level of redundancy achieved across the drives.
