Depending on your Event Notification settings (see page 36), RAIDXpert can
also notify you via email message.
When the automatic rebuild operation is completed, you must remove and
replace the faulty physical drive with a new one.
See “Replacing the Failed Physical Drive” on page 87 and your system User
Manual for more information on replacing a physical drive.
Synchronizing All Logical Drives
The Logical Drive View–Synchronization Schedule tab enables you to
synchronize all logical drives. You can also synchronize an individual logical
drive, see page 79.
• Synchronization – An automated process of checking and correcting data
and parity. Unlike a Rebuild, Synchronization is a maintenance operation.
• Redundancy Check – 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, 5, and 10 logical
drives. To perform a Synchronization or Redundancy Check immediately (on
demand), see “Synchronizing One Logical Drive” on page 79.
