Synchronizing An Array
Synchronization is a periodic maintenance procedure for Mirroring (RAID 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.
To synchronize, choose the Array Tab View.
Right-click on the array you wish to synchronize and choose “Synchronize” from the context
menu.
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.
