Check Rebuild Rate
During a rebuild, the contents of a complete physical drive is rewritten. Normal
operations can go on during a rebuild, but performance may be degraded. The
Rebuild Rate controls the rate at which a rebuild is done. A high Rebuild Rate
(over 50%) speeds up the rebuild, but slows system performance. A low Rebuild
Rate (under 50%) slows the rebuild process, but speeds up system performance.
The default setting for the Rebuild Rate is 50%.
To check the Rebuild Rate from the HP NetRAID Assistant window:
1. Select the adapter for which you want to check the Rebuild Rate.
2. Select Rebuild Rate from the Adapter menu.
