tw_cli maint remove c0 p0

However, that won't work.  Not because of an error with tw_cli, but 
rather because the RAID is still in use.  The RAID is ID'ed as 
/dev/sdb.  Turns out sdb has three partitions (1-3) on it, and we are 
still using two of them, one as swap and the other as a mirror for 
another disks' partition.  If I can make those unusable, then I might 
be able to remove the drives (ports) from the HW RAID.

Will tackle this more tomorrow.
