nVIDIA RAID Introduction
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 Fig-
ure 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.
