Logical Drive Synchronization/Redundancy Check - Promise Technology FastTrak TX4310 User Manual

Logical Drive Synchronization/Redundancy Check

Synchronization refers to an automated process of checking and correcting data
and parity. Unlike a Rebuild, Synchronization is a maintenance operation. You
can also synchronize all logical drives at the same time, see page 81.
Redundancy Check is an automated process of checking data and parity but it
only reports and does not correct, any inconsistencies that it finds.
Synchronization and Redundancy Check apply to RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10
logical drives. When an logical drive is first created and you select Full
Initialization, the same action as Synchronization takes place.
You can set up a Synchronization or Redundancy Check to begin immediately
(on demand) or schedule a Synchronization or Redundancy Check for a time
when there is less demand on the RAID system.
