For RAID 1 and 10, one half of the mirror was copied to the otherhalf (mirrors are synchronized).This message will not appear for a foreground initialization.See Also“Foreground Versus Background Initialization” on page 1590008 Unclean shutdown detectedEvent TypeWarningCauseThe 3ware RAID controller detected an unclean shutdown of the operatingsystem, either from a power failure or improper shutdown procedure. Thecontroller will force the unit to begin verifying, due to the possibility that dataon a redundant unit could be out of synchronization.ActionAllow the verification to complete. Verifications have little overhead in termsof system performance and keep your units in optimum condition.To prevent unclean shutdowns, always go through the normal shutdownprocedure. It is also recommended to use an uninterruptible power supply(UPS) to prevent unclean shutdowns due to sudden power loss.See Also“About Verification” on page 162
