Event Type
Information
Cause
The 3ware RAID controller completed the "synching" background
initialization sequence of RAID levels 1, 6, 10, 50, or 5. For RAID 5, RAID 6,
and RAID 50, the data on the unit was read and the resultant new parity was
written. For RAID 1 and 10, one half of the mirror was copied to the other
half (mirrors are synchronized).
This message will not appear for a foreground initialization.

Event Type
Warning
Cause
The 3ware RAID controller detected an unclean shutdown of the operating
system, either from a power failure or improper shutdown procedure. The
controller will force the unit to begin verifying, due to the possibility that data
on a redundant unit could be out of synchronization.
Action
Allow the verification to complete. Verifications have little overhead in terms
of system performance and keep your units in optimum condition.
To prevent unclean shutdowns, always go through the normal shutdown
procedure. It is also recommended to use an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) to prevent unclean shutdowns due to sudden power loss.
