Synchronize Mirror Disk

RAID 1 arrays must be synchronized when the data on the mirror disk is not identical with its corresponding source disk.
Sometimes the data on the mirror disk may be newer than the data on the source disk. For example, the source disk is absent and

the mirror disk runs in the tolerance mode. So the exact meaning of “Synchronize Mirror” is to make a pair of source and mirror

disks contain identical data. The RAID software always marks the mirror disk with a “need-sync” icon

despite the fact that

the mirror disk may have the correct data.

1. Select a RAID 1 array, right-click the selected RAID and a shortcut menu will be shown. Click on Synchronize Mirror to

synchronize the source and mirror disks.
