Executing Reconstruction

To execute the reconstruction, right-click the relevant logical drive on the Logical view, click
[Advanced Operations] → [Reconstruction Wizard] and select [Yes] for the confirmation message
shown below to display the Reconstruction Wizard.
The Reconstruction Wizard can also be displayed by selecting the relevant logical drive on the
Logical view and clicking [Operations] → [Advanced Operations] → [Reconstruction Wizard] on
the menu bar.
It is recommended that the partitions on a logical drive are
always backed up before the addition of the capacity of
the array so that proper measures can be taken at the
occurrence of an unexpected event.
(the reconstruction feature is unavailable if more than one
logical drive are configured in the array).
