nVidia RAID
Synchronizing a RAID Array
Synchronizing an array will force a rebuild of redundancy or parity. The operation is
applicable to any fault tolerant array such as RAID 1, 0+1 and RAID 5.
•
For RAID1 and RAID 0+1,
“
sync
”
results in copying the data to the redundancy disk,
•
For RAID 5,
“
sync
”
results in rebuilding the parity
To sync an array, do the following (This example assumes you have already created
a fault tolerant array such as RAID 1):
1. Right click on
“
Mirroring
”
and select
Synchronize Array
as shown in Figure
below.
2. The Synchronize Array Wizard Welcome screen appears.
3. Click on
Next
and then click
Finish
at the Wizard Completion screen. The
NVRAIDMAN window indicates that the array is synchronizing, as shown in Figure
below.
As you can see from the screen shot above, the synchronization process has
started and it will be completed in a short period of time.
