Edit....I did have to do nothing...only replace disk and rebuilding started auto...I have to appricate Dell with very friendly PERC design. I`ll be fighting with the same problem with iLo next week and I hink it is not so easy.
No restart needed and I can control rebuild status via perccli all the time.
I would recommend to reboot the server and go to PERC Controller configuration utility and check the physical drive and virtual disk status. Recovery of virtual disk is based on number of drives failed and virtual disk status. If virtual disk is in degraded status you can replace failed drives and make it Online. If virtual disk is in failed state then you might not be able to get the virtual disk back to online.
You can also check hard drive LED status to check drive status. You can refer below link for more details on this
PERC is plan B, because there is needed rebooting server. There are several VMs which I have to migrate to another node and I`m looking for another way to rebuild array.
Is Openmanage runing from OS too risky or it is dysfunctional?
Or is there possibility to upgrade idrac8 to enterprise? Is it possible to manage virtual disk(array) via idrac? Which version is needed (number and level)?

After several days investigation I`m going to rebuild array via PERC setup after restart.
I removed all VMs to another machines.
Solved.

I could see https://dl.dell.com/manuals/common/dell-emc-idrac8-9-feature-comparison.pdf but I`m not wiser than before.

If you are going to replace a failed or failing disk that is part of a raid volume, you can take the disk offline using racadm.
Use the following command to get a list of physical disk names that are defined for the raid volume
racadm storage get pdisks
Once you have the list of disk names, identify the disk that you are working with. Use the following command to force it offline
racadm raid forceoffline:Disk.Bay.0:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.Integrated.1-1
Note that the command above is just an example. You will need to change the disk number and slot for your specific situation.
