Monitoring RAID Synchronization

You can monitor the RAID status of the disks to see when the hard disks are synchronized.

If you reboot the appliance before the hard disks are synchronized, the synchronization starts again at the next boot.

Showing RAID Information in Gaia Portal

In the navigation tree, click Maintenance > RAID Monitoring.

You can see the information about RAID Volumes and RAID Volume Disks.
