I have searched the web for a solution and have found nothing on this topic. The error I get is sda1 and sdb1 have the same UUID. I would rather not remove a drive from raid and unplug it to do the install.
I assume you cloned a drive. If the drives are simply prepared blanks, you could modify one of the drives (change its UUID) with a simple reformat. And, of course, change the /etc/fstab file to use the new uuid.
If the drives are blanks/empty, then I'd have thought the install routine would give you some method to prepare them to suit ignoring the current status of the drives. n.b. It's usually a waste of time to prepare blank drives before starting an install.
I'm not sure about modifying a drive with data on it. It should be doable without destroying content (research the tune2fs or btrfstune and uuidgen commands for ext or btrfs file systems on some OSs). Possibly gparted might help.
You could use something other than the UUID to mount them (device name, volume name).
I know I'm being a bit vague, but if either of those steps sound understandable, we can elaborate.
