sync
Usage
sync [-a ] [-l ]
Summary
The sync command is used for background synchronization, the process of enforcing
consistency in logical drives. This is an optional replacement for LDI (logical drive initialization).
Background Synchronization starts automatically when a redundant logical drive is created
while still allowing I/O to be performed to the logical drive (unlike LDI). If LDI is started then
background synchronization will halt and LDI will run.
This command may also be used to allow the user to check the status of background
synchronization. Since background synchronization is started automatically and yields
automatically there is no need to explicitly start, stop, pause or resume a background
synchronization.
Options
-a Specifies the action to perform.
list (Default) Displays the current background synchronization
activities and their status.
-l Specifies the logical drive ID on which background synchronization
is running.
Examples
