As I understood the original question, he wants to blow away the entire test
volume set (two drives) and add one drive to one existing volume set and one
to another existing volume set. This is not a problem, and is in fact
recommended for testing new drives before putting them into production. I
did this very thing over the last few days with four new disk drives on one
of our systems. Totally non-disruptive.

Now, if he wanted to just remove one drive from an existing mult-drive
volume set, then all your cautionary words apply.
