Dell PowerEdge 1950 has an issue with a raid. I have 2 disks on the raid, and it fails. When looking at Dell Open Manage it is because both disks show as state = foreign.
Name State Bus Protocol Media Revision Capacity
Physical Disk 0:0:2 Foreign Execute SATA HDD AX001U 931.00GB
Physical Disk 0:0:3 Foreign Execute SATA HDD AX001U 931.00GB
Under the "Available tasks" I can only blink and unblink the drives.How can I clear these errors and get the drives back online.
It is a dev machine so I don't mind rebuilding the machine.

Ctrl-R during bootup brings up the BIOS menu for the controller. Go across to Foreign (Ctrl-n), hit F2 for options and choose Import Foreign Config to load previous config from the disks or choose clear foreign config to wipe it and start from scratch.
