Raid - Initialization fails
I have a R710 with the 2.5 inch hard drives. I had generic hard drives in it at the beginning. These were (8) 900GB Model: TP11001000900A hard drives running a raid 5 I believe. It didn't have any problems raiding these drives and running them on an ESXI box.
I purchased (8) 2TB HP Enterprise Hard Drives Model: SAVN2000S5xeN7.2 brand new. When installed and in the raid controller configuration all drives spin up and say ready. I set the raid to 10 and do all the configuration that are needed with no problems. Once I tell it to initialize the disk, all disk come up as failed. I need some help to determine why they are failing.
The R710 bios and drivers are all updated to the newest release, but yet they still fail to initialize. I have the Perc 6/I raid controller. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If any more information is needed please let me know as I need to get this resolved so I can finish setting up a new server (2016) on it.

I thought these drives were Dell certified drives. How do I validate that they are certified drives for the R710?
