How to remove a data disk from all data nodes in a running cluster

[#1]

I have 5 data nodes with 3*2Tb disk (6 Tb) in each data node with 3 partitions for each node,

/mnt/data1, /mnt/data2 and /mnt/data3.

I need to remove 1 disk (/mnt/data3) on all data nodes, how can I achieve this with minimum downtime.

Current hdfs disk usage is 10 TB

HDP 3.1

You can update the configuration (remove single disk that you don't need)  and perform a restart on one datanode at a time. Ensure that there are no under replicated blocks (namenode UI will show that)  in between datanode restarts. I found this to be safest approach.
