I have a RAID 5 array on an LSI controller. I want to temporarily remove all the disks without shutting down the computer. Then I will insert a new set of disks and build a new array. Later, I will insert the original disks and bring the virtual drive online without having to rebuild. Is this possible using storcli? So essentially I want to remove the VD from the controller without erasing the metadata on the disks.
I think I can do it like this, but I'm not sure if this will delete the metadata on disks.
storcli64 /c0/eall/sall set offline
storcli64 /c0/v0 delete
