3. Synchronization
The synchronization checks consistency among logical drives. It is available for redundant logical drives in the RAID1, RAID5, or RAID10 level.
Similar to the media patrol, routine synchronization can be done by scheduling.
The synchronization can not only check consistency but also repair detected error sectors in the same way as the media patrol. Accordingly, it can be used as preventive maintenance.
Different from media patrol, the synchronization continues its operation at a certain rate if targeting logical drives are accessed. Therefore, considerable load may be applied to the system during synchronization to decrease in the processing rate. In an environment of frequent accesses, preventive maintenance using synchronization is recommended because media patrol cannot be advanced.
Note the following for the synchronization:
To perform synchronization, WebPAM must be installed.
For the detailed operation, refer to the online manual
