Logical Drive Synchronization/Redundancy Check<br />

Synchronization refers to an automated process of checking and correcting data<br />

and parity. Unlike a Rebuild, Synchronization is a maintenance operation. You<br />

can also synchronize all logical drives at the same time, see page 75.<br />

Redundancy Check is an automated process of checking data and parity but it<br />

only reports and does not correct, any inconsistencies that it finds.<br />

Synchronization and Redundancy Check apply to RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10<br />

logical drives. When an logical drive is first created and you select Full<br />

Initialization, the same action as Synchronization takes place.<br />

You can set up a Synchronization or Redundancy Check to begin immediately<br />

(on demand) or schedule a Synchronization or Redundancy Check for a time<br />

when there is less demand on the RAID system.<br />

On Demand<br />

To Synchronize or Redundancy Check a logical drive:<br />

1. Click on the Logical Drive View icon in Tree View.<br />

2. Click on the Logical Drive<br />

synchronize.<br />

icon of the logical drive you want to<br />

3. Click on the Synchronization tab in Management View.<br />

4. In the Policy dropdown menu, select Fix if you want Synchronization or<br />

Redundancy Check if you do not want to correct inconsistencies.<br />
