tw_cli: 3ware controller commands

when replacing a failed disk, you must issue a 'maint deleteunit command', as the 'maint remove' command doesnt do what you might think it does. so, pull the drive, insert the new one, issue a rescan commmand, then deleteunit, then rebuild.

the following commands were used to start rebuiding the raid-1 array on a server with a single 8006 controller.

show ver

info c0
rescan

maint deleteunit c0 u1
maint rebuild c0 u0 p1
