Promise Array Management
Synchronize an Array
Promise uses the term synchronization to mean an automated process of checking and correcting data and parity. Unlike a Rebuild, Synchronization is a maintenance operation.
Synchronization applies to RAIDs 1, 0+1 and 5. It takes place when an array is first created and then, optionally, on a regularly scheduled basis to maintain content integrity.
Scheduled Synchronization
Schedule a time for synchronization when the RAID is least busy reading and writing data. The early morning hours are often a convenient time.
Figure 58. Array Synchronization Schedule
To enable scheduled synchronization:
1.In Tree View, select the RAID Machine 
icon. In Information View, scroll down to the bottom.
2.Check the Enabled box.
3.Click on the radio button beside the time interval (by day, week or month) you want.
4.Based on the time interval you selected, enter the clock time, day of the week or day of the month for the synchronization process to begin.
5.When you are done, click the Change button.
The Synchronization Schedule is set. If the Schedule is disabled, it will remember its current settings.
