Array Synchronization

Synchronization is a periodic maintenance procedure for Mirroring (RAID 1, 0+1, 3, and 5) 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: Users may choose to schedule synchronization during unattended, off -peak hours (see page 74).

1)To manually synchronize drives from SuperCheck, choose the icon of the mirrored Array in Tree View.

2)Right-click the array icon, and choose “Synchronize” from the pull-down menu (see Figure 76) or select "Array" from pull down menu at top and choose "Synchronize" from the pull-down menu. This will initiate the process.

3)You will be returned to the main SuperCheck screen. A progress bar will display at the bottom of the window.
