– Synchronize Logical Drive: You must select this choice to
recompute and rewrite the parity data on the selected drive
for RAID level 5 before storing data. This selection does not
alter data on the drive. After synchronization starts, it
cannot be interrupted until the operation is complete.
Note: It is good practice to synchronize logical drives with
RAID levels 1 and 5 weekly.
Ÿ
Select Rebuild/Device Management to rebuild logical drives.
When you replace a defunct drive in a critical (CRT) logical
drive, the data is rebuilt on the new physical drive before the
state of the logical drive is changed to OKY. The rebuild
operation is supported only for RAID levels 1 and 5. You also
can use this option to define or redefine the state of a physical
drive, display drive information, and clear the device-error table.
Ÿ
Select Advanced Functions to change the write policy (the way
data is written to the drive), to save your configuration
information to a diskette, to restore your configuration from a
diskette, or to change ServeRAID adapter parameters. This
choice also allows you to run the RAID subsystems diagnostics,
initialize the adapter configuration, reset the configuration
values to the factory defaults, and synchronize the primary and
backup copies of the adapter configuration information.
