3. Synchronization
The synchronization checks consistency among logical drives. It is available for redundant
logical drives in the RAID1, RAID5, or RAID10 level.
Similar to the media patrol, routine synchronization can be done by scheduling.
The synchronization can not only check consistency but also repair detected error sectors
in the same way as the media patrol. Accordingly, it can be used as preventive
maintenance.
Different from media patrol, the synchronization continues its operation at a certain rate if
targeting logical drives are accessed. Therefore, considerable load may be applied to the
system during synchronization to decrease in the processing rate. In an environment of
frequent accesses, preventive maintenance using synchronization is recommended
because media patrol cannot be advanced.
Notice
Note the following for the synchronization:
To perform synchronization, WebPAM must be installed.
For the detailed operation, refer to the online manual "Web-based
Promise Array Manager User's Guide" saved in the "S-ATA Array
Management Software" CD-ROM coming with the card.
