Replacing multiple disks in array with 1 larger disk.

So I am looking to do something very similar to this thread and I just want to make sure I am interpreting it correctly.

 

I want to retire all 3 6 TB disks and replace them with the 18 TB and 12 TB disks.

 

So I believe my order of operations is.

 

1) Replace 1 6 TB disk with the 12 TB disk, rebuild from parity.

2) Replace 1 6 TB disk with the 18 TB disk, rebuild from parity.

3) Use unbalance to move data from the final 6 TB disk to the 18 TB disk.

 

ChatNoir said "use the New Config tool to rebuild parity with only the drives you want to keep (we can discuss this later)"

 

This is the piece I dont understand.  Any clarity is helpful.  Thanks.
