RAID 6 Virtual Disk 0
So we had three drives flash as bad at once in the first attached MD unit. Two went green after reseating, the third did not so I replaced that drive. All green and happy. Next day 2 more drives were flashing amber in the second attached MD unit, one reseated and went okay, the other drive didn't and had to be replaced. All green. But the data does not present itself.
In OpenManage the VD is 0. There are two disks that show a foreign status and the only option (with F2) to blink. A third disk was showing foreign and I was able to label it a HotSpare. I reboot and have waited 24 hours but there had been no change. The data on the VD is valuable because the "automatic" backup froze last month.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Hello, we gotta import foreign status but before that we need to check the LC log from idrac and see what happened when.

first of all if you are unaware of the raid configs please do not work on the system cause it will impact a big data loss or a production impact.
coming to your point:- the drives of the VD went to a foreign state and need to import the foreign config, the new installed hard drive must be of same model.
the reoccurring issue related to the SSD drives are due to firmware kindly keep the firmware up to date for sudden disk failure or issues.
if still you are facing issues ping me private with the all disks status and the VD also.
