Logical Drive Synchronization/Redundancy Check

Synchronization refers to an automated process of checking and correcting data and parity. Unlike a Rebuild, Synchronization is a maintenance operation. You can also synchronize all logical drives at the same time, see page 79.

Redundancy Check is an automated process of checking data and parity but it only reports and does not correct, any inconsistencies that it finds.

Synchronization and Redundancy Check apply to RAID 1 logical drives. When an logical drive is first created and you select Full Initialization, the same action as Synchronization takes place.

You can set up a Synchronization or Redundancy Check to begin immediately (on demand) or schedule a Synchronization or Redundancy Check for a time when there is less demand on the RAID system.

On Demand

To Synchronize or Redundancy Check a logical drive:

1.Click on the Logical Drive View icon in Tree View.

2.Click on the Logical Drive icon of the logical drive you want to synchronize.

3.Click on the Synchronization tab in Management View.

4.In the Policy dropdown menu, select Fix if you want Synchronization or Redundancy Check if you do not want to correct inconsistencies.

5.Click the Start Now button.
