Cancelling a Rebuild and Restarting It with a Different Drive
When you start a rebuild from 3BM, you cannot cancel it in 3BM interface. However, if you have drives in hot swap bays, you can remove and replace the drive, rescan the controller (Alt-R), and then select a new drive to be used in the rebuild. You can also boot the operating system, launch 3DM, and cancel a rebuild by using the Remove Drive link on the Maintenance page.
If your drives are not in hot swap bays and you do not want to boot the operating system and launch 3DM, you can also cancel a rebuild by powering down the system, physically removing a drive, and installing another one that you want to use. Then when you start 3BM, the unit will appear as degraded and you can rebuild it, using the steps described under Rebuilding Units through 3BM.
 
Note: If you want to pause the rebuild process through 3DM, you can do so by setting or changing the rebuild schedule on the Scheduling page. If you set a schedule for rebuilds that does not include the current time, the rebuild process will pause.
