Breaking RAID-1 while running

Level 1

Ciscu UCS C200 M2 with RHEL 5.7 64-bit

I have a situation where I'm going to have to break the RAID-1 (hardware) setup that I have every quarter.  I'm going to have to pull out one of the drives, ship it off site, and replace it with another, and have the mirror rebuild.

Are there any Linux utilities for me to interact with the system at this level?  I'm pretty sure I won't be forced to do this while the system is running, so likely the safest bet is to shut the system down, pull the drive, then replace it with a new one?

I'm going to run some tests, but was wondering if there are any particular tricks, documentation, etc. to help me determine best practices here?
