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?
