Initializing, Rebuilding, and Synchronizing RAID Arrays

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 4.15
