@aaronstuder What raid controller do you have?
Exactly this. A real SMB system should be a hot plug. But we have no idea what you bought.
Even hot plug often requires you to offline a disk before you take it out for the system to be clear as to what is happening. ZFS is hot swap, but still requires that, for example.
I said it already, but hardware controllers in most systems have no interface to the OS in order to do anything. There is no way to offline a drive while running.
I'm guessing this is an issue with hypervisors? my older bare metal servers all (HP and IBM - not Lenovo) had utilities that allowed RAID controller management from within the OS. I haven't seen a way to manage then when a hypervisor is in place though.
Anyone know if there is a way, maybe through iLo or iDRAC, etc?
My comments need to be read with the understanding that the OS itself doesn't talk to the RAID controller, but 3rd party drivers do.
That said - the OS doesn't often talk to disks either, they talk via third party drivers.

Still do, he's saying that that is third party software, is all. Third party to the OS, first party to the controller.
