Performing a Manual Rebuild of an Individual Physical Disk
CAUTION: If a physical disk is a member of a disk group that contains multiple
virtual disks and one of the virtual disks is deleted when a rebuild operation is in
progress, the rebuild operation stops. You can then resume the rebuild operation

that none of the virtual disks are deleted until the rebuild is complete.
