The system seems to be working correctly and the drives have been in this server for years? not sure what changed and what i need to do to fix this? your help is much appreciated.
After a power outage, there is some chances that you can get foreign configuration. This may occur when the system did not POST properly. All you need to do is to do a import foreign. Though, I might need to advice you to check the foreign configuration in the virtual disk management in controller BIOS, if it matches your previous working configuration. It's also best for you to do a data back up since you are able to access the server. After it's been verified, you can import foreign by follow the steps here: https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-my/how17083/how-to-import-a-foreign-configuration-in-the-raid-controller-using-the-system-setup-menu?lang=en
