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.
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.
