F. More About Rebuilding Arrays
Rebuilding Occurs in the Background
The rebuilding process takes some time to complete, and occurs in the background so
as not to affect the performance of the system.
Rebuilding Applies Only to RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5 Arrays
Rebuilding an array works only when using RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or RAID 5. Rebuilding
does not apply to RAID 0 and JBOD arrays.
Rebuilding applies to a degraded fault tolerant array
You can rebuild a degraded mirrored array using any available Free Disk or Dedicated
Disk.
G. 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):
A. Right click on “Mirroring” and select “Synchronize Array”. Then the Synchronize
Array Wizard Welcome screen appears.
B. Click on “Next” and then click “Finish” at the Wizard Completion screen. The
