The rebuild process takes place while the RAID system is still running. Performance will be
affected depending on the rebuild rate.

2. From the Power Console main menu, place the cursor over the failed drive icon you
want to rebuild. Drag the icon to the Rebuild icon, and drop it.
NOTE
To stop the rebuild process at any time, select Abort from the rebuild dialog. The logical
drive will revert to array critical.
