Important
Promise Technology suggests synchronizing an array once a month.
Synchronization is a preventative maintenance measure used to avoid problems
with data integrity. Synchronizing simply recalculates redundant data (similar to
the rebuild process) and matches the data on the drive(s).
Rebuild/Sync Priority
Assigns the amount of importance that UltraTrak gives to rebuilding/
synchronizing data in the background. A
High
setting assigns most of UltraTrak’s
resources to the rebuild process at the expense of responding to ongoing
read/write data requests by the operating system. A
Low
setting gives priority to
ongoing read/ write data requests by the operating system at the expense of the
rebuild/ synchronization process and will typically result in longer
rebuild/synchronization times. The default setting is
High
. To set the
Rebuild/Sync priority, go to the
Configuration
menu and select
Configure
Array
; then select
Advance Features
and choose
Rebuild/Sync Pri.
