Dell R730 Virtual Disk is Missing , Can't find my VD anymore.

Hi Everyone,

1-I had an issue today suddenly i had an error says "there are offline or missing virtual drives with preserved cache" i selected "discard preserved cache" , my ESXI couldn't boot. 

2-My ESXI didn't boot , i went to physical disks and found that my 2 SSD Drives in the Foreign status. 

3-I selected Clear Foreign configuration , my virtual disk 0 appears as seen below , after that my 2 physical disks appears ready. 

4-When i went to virtual disks , nothing appear it says there are no virtual disks .. , how can i solve this issue and get my virtual disk back ? cuz my ESXI is not booting and i have a lot of VMs on it , i tried to swap physical disk slots also.

Aeh..... you should select "Import foreign" configuration rather then "clear" because now the RAID config is deleted/wipted and from a controller perspective the drives are "blank"

Install ESX again and restore the VMs from Backup.
