1. Select the desired logical drive from the Main screen
of the Administration and Monitoring Program.
2. Select Initialize to initialize the drive.
3. If you have initialized a RAID level-5 drive, you must
synchronize to ensure data integrity. Go to
“Synchronizing logical drives.”
Synchronizing logical drives:
The purpose of
synchronizing logical drives is to compute and write the
parity data on the selected drives.
If the type of ServeRAID adapter or controller you are
using does not support the auto-synchronization and
data-scrubbing features, manually synchronize the RAID
level-1 and RAID level-5 logical drives weekly. This does
not alter data on the drive.
Synchronizing a logical drive verifies that the data
redundancy for the logical drive is correct.
To synchronize a logical drive:
1. Select the desired logical drive from the Main screen
of the Administration and Monitoring Program.
2. Select Synchronize to synchronize the drive.
3. The synchronization begins automatically and reports
progress information on the screen.
Note
Only one synchronization command can be
active at a time.
Unblocking logical drives:
When the ServeRAID
adapter or controller performs a Rebuild operation on an
array, it reconstructs the data that was stored in RAID
level-1 and RAID level-5 logical drives. However, the
ServeRAID adapter or controller cannot reconstruct the
data that was stored in any RAID level-0 logical drives in
that array. The data in the RAID level-0 logical drives is
blocked when the ServeRAID adapter or controller detects
that the array is valid, but the data might be damaged.
