Synchronize Array
Promise uses the term synchronization to mean an automated process
of checking and correcting data and parity. It applies to RAIDs 1, 3, 5,
0+1, 30 and 50. The array is still accessible during synchronization but it
will respond more slowly.
You must have Maintenance Rights to perform this function.
1. In Tree View, click the
icon of the Array you want to synchronize.
Figure 86. Array Management Screen.
2. In the Management Window, click Synchronize Array. The Array
begins immediately, unless another process prevents it.
To verify synchronization, check the Host Event Log.
Notes
Depending on the number and capacity of your disk
drives, synchronization can take many hours.
It may be to your advantage to perform synchronization
during light traffic hours, using WebPAM’s automatic
synchronization feature.
See Synchronization Schedule below.
Synchronization Schedule
You can schedule synchronization to take place automatically at dates
and times when the array is the least busy. You must have Maintenance
Rights to perform this function
1. In the Array Management screen, click Synchronization Schedule.
