3.5 Other Configuration Tasks
This section explains how to perform other configuration and
maintenance tasks for IM and IME volumes.
3.5.1 Viewing Volume Properties
Follow these steps to view the properties of volumes:
1. In the SAS BIOS CU, select an adapter from the Adapter List. Select
the RAID Properties option.
The properties of the current volume are displayed. If global hot
spares are defined, they are also listed.
Note: If you create one volume using SAS disks, another volume
using SATA disks, and global hot spare disks, the hot spare
disks will only appear when you view the volume that has
the same type of disks as the hot spare disks.
2. If two volumes are configured, press Alt+N to view the other array.
3. To manage the current array, select the Manage Array item and
press Enter.
3.5.2 Synchronizing an Array
The Synchronize Array command forces the firmware to resynchronize
the data on the mirrored disks in the array. It is seldom necessary to use
this command, because the firmware automatically keeps the mirrored
data synchronized during normal operation. When you use this
command, one disk of the array is placed in the Degraded state until the
data on the mirrored disks has been resynchronized.
