Problem: Mirrored volume copies no longer identical

The management GUI provides options to either check copies that are identical or to check that the copies are identical and to process any differences that are found.

To confirm that the two copies of a mirrored volume are still identical, choose the volume view that works best for you. Select one of the volume copies in the volume that you want to check. From the Actions menu, select the Validate Volume Copies option.

You have the following choices:
  • Validate that the volume copies are identical.
  • Validate that the volume copies are identical, mark, and repair any differences that are found.
If you want to resolve any differences, you have the following options:
  • Consider that the primary volume copy is correct and make the other volume copy match the primary volume copy if any differences are found. The primary volume copy is the copy that is considered correct.
  • Do not assume that either volume copy is correct. If a difference is found, the sector is marked. A media error is returned if the volume is read by a host application.
