The Group Show Progress window displays a percent-complete indicator for drive rebuilds. Rebuilds may take a long time to complete and cannot be aborted. An up-arrow appears above the drive icon while it is being rebuilt.

Operations on virtual drives appear in the left panel of the window, and operations on drives appear in the right panel. The type of operations that appear in this window are as follows:

n

Initialization of a virtual drive (see Initializing a Virtual Drive)

n

Rebuild (see Rebuilding a Drive)

n

Consistency check (see Running a Consistency Check)

A Modify Drive Group process cannot be aborted. To abort any other ongoing process, click the Abort button next to the status indicator. Click Abort All to abort all ongoing processes. Click Close to close the window.
