No, you can't reconfigure a RAID array to make it smaller, especially by removing disks. You need to get a real replacement disk for the failed one … OR you need to do a backup, wipe out the RAID 5, make a new smaller one, then restore using backup software capable of restoring to a smaller "disk". Just replace the drive.
yes, I am saying the same thing in the previous note, We will take full backup with backup toll and then break the RAID5 and use one disk out of 4 from the RAID5 and replace in RAID1 the faulty disk. then we will reconfigure this using three disks.
