Synchronizing An Array
Synchronization is a periodic maintenance procedure for Mirroring (RAID 1, RAID
0+1) arrays to maintain data consistency on all mirrored drives. In operation, array
synchronization compares data on the mirrored drives for any differences. If there
are differences detected, data from the primary drive(s) is automatically copied to
the secondary drive(s). This assures that all mirrored drives will contain the exact
information.
NOTE: You may instead choose to schedule array synchronization automatically
under the Options Tab view versus manually initiating synchronization (see page
46).
1. To synchronize, choose the Array Tab View (see figure on previous page).
2. Right-click on the array you wish to synchronize and choose “Synchronize”
from the context menu.
3. Click “Yes” to initiate Synchronization (see below) when the Confirmation
window appears. To cancel this option, click the No button.
WARNING: Once initiated, synchronization can NOT be halted in
order to prevent data errors.
