Synchronize Mirror Disk
RAID 1 or RAID 0+1 arrays must be synchronized when the data on the mirror disk is not identical with its corresponding source
disk. Sometimes the data on the mirror disk may be newer than the data on the source disk. For example, the source disk is absent
and the mirror disk runs in the tolerance mode. So the exact meaning of “Synchronize Mirror” is to make a pair of source and
mirror disks have identical data. The RAID software always marks the mirror disk with a “need-sync” icon
although the
mirror disk may have the correct data.
1. Select a RAID 1 or RAID 0+1 array. Right-click the selected RAID, then a shortcut menu will be shown. Click on
Synchronize Mirror to synchronize the source and mirror disks.
