This can be done with both megacli and storcli.
Since the way forward is storcli this how to will be based on that.
storcli /c0 show all

Say 8:14 is marked a Ubad. (Unconfigured bad)
storcli /c0 /e8 /s14 set good
storcli /c0 show all
It should now have the disk marked as Ugood ( Unconfigured Good)

This would show an external configuration which needs clearing.
Now we need to clear the config data from the previous RAID conf cached on the disk.
storcli /cx /fall import
This will clear the foreign config and start the rebuild.
To follow the rebuild :
storcli /c0 /e8 /sall show rebuild
Controller = 0
Status = Success
Description = Show Drive Rebuild Status Succeeded.

That’s it.
[ NOTE : ] Rebuild might take more than 1 day in default mode…. Just saying be patient.
