(2) Disconnecting a drive (with /OFFLINE option)
If you execute the raidctrl command with the /OFFLINE option, the specified drive is
forcibly disconnected and set to offline.
This option can be used only when the RAID status is "OPTIMAL". Only 1 or 2 can be
specified for DRVNO. If you specify other values, an error message is displayed and
the command exits.
