Interactive: By checking this option, a window will appear each time an error is
detected asking whether you want to Abort, Fix, or Ignore the error (see

Scheduling Array Synchronization
This section of the Options window allows a user to schedule when and how often the
system will perform synchronization maintenance of a mirrored array.
Disable (the default). Click to turn off automated scheduling of synchronization. When
unchecked, the Scheduling section will be highlighted (see above).
On Errors offers four radio buttons for the user to select the procedure they would like
to perform if an error is detected during a scheduled Synchronization. There are
three types of errors that can be detected -- a data mismatch between the primary
and secondary drives, a physical media error on the source or target drive, or a
total disk failure. The options for handling Errors are as follows:
Abort: Stops the Synchronization process if an error is encountered.
Fix: In most cases, the system will automatically correct errors. The method of
correction varies depending on the type of error (see Appendix under Error
Correction Methodology).
Ignore: The system will log the event error and continue the synchronization
process. (Warning: this may result in mismatched drives under RAID 1 or 0+1).
Use this setting if you want to detect the presence of errors, but do not want to
fix these errors yet. The user may then decide what to do about the error(s)
detected.
Interactive: By selecting this option, a window will appear each time an error is
detected asking whether you want to Abort, Fix, or Ignore the error (see
Troubleshooting for more details).
Schedule event drop down box allows scheduling synchronization by minute, by
hour, by day, by week, or by month. If enabled, the default is By Month. This
allows synchronization to take place during an off-hour when the system is either
not in use or not at peak demand.
Start time designates hr/min/ am/pm.
On the designates day of week or by ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd....) selection.
