synchronization status on the current server, report the synchronization status on all servers, perform
a time synchronization, and schedule an immediate synchronization.
Use the Sync Repair Wizard to perform the following operations:
•
"Synchronizing the Selected Replica on This Server" on page 267
•
"Reporting the Synchronization Status on This Server" on page 267

10.8.1 Synchronizing the Selected Replica on This Server
Use this operation to determine the complete synchronization status of every server that has a replica
of the selected partition.
This helps you determine the health of a partition. If all of the servers with a replica of the partition
are synchronizing properly, the partition is considered healthy. Each server in the replica ring is
contacted, then each server performs an immediate synchronization to every other server in the
replica ring.
Servers do not synchronize to themselves. Therefore, the status for the current server's own replica is
displayed as Host.
