Synchronize a Logical Drive

Synchronization is a routine maintenance procedure for fault-tolerant logical
drives (those with redundancy) that ensures all the data matches exactly.
You can initiate this procedure manually or select Synchronization Schedule from
the Change Logical Drive Settings menu to set this function to occur
automatically.
The logical drive must be Functional in order to be synchronized. Correct any
problems before proceeding.
Promise recommends synchronizing your logical drive(s) once a month. You
must have Maintenance Rights to perform this function.
To manually synchronize a logical drive:
1. Click on the Logical Drive
The Logical Drive Window appears.
2. Click on the Change Logical Drive Settings menu and select Synchronize
logical drive.
3. Click OK on the confirmation dialog box.
The Synchronization process will conclude automatically. An event message
will notify you when synchronization is done.
During Synchronization, you will have access to the Logical Drive, but it will
respond more slowly to read/write tasks because of the additional operation.
The time required for Synchronization depends on the size of the Logical
Drive.
