I would like to remove these disks /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc from LVM and do not use them for anything..

Can anyone please help me with this ?

I would recommend that you add a drive sizable to contain the filesystems to your volume group, then pvmove to them, and then vgreduce the drives out of your VG and then power off, remove the disks and be done with it

If you don't want to remove them physically, and want to keep them for something else, you can fdisk them and use them for whatever.

run lsscsi to show the drives in a more readable way
