Can't Rebuild RAID 5

Good day all. After an update the made my RAID disappear, I figured the easiest way to get it back would be to rebuild the server (I was having some update problems anyway). I installed the latest OMV, 5.6.13. The drives appear in the Disks section, but when I try to build my RAID, they do not appear in the Drives section of Create RAID device. Not sure what is wrong or I am missing. I haven't had this problem in the past with rebuilding my server. Thank you for any help.

I SSH'd into the server.

I realized that I didn't use sudo when running some of the commands. I have edited my original post to include the correct information. Thank you for your help so far.

I just realized that I am missing a drive. There are 6 of the WD drives and this is only showing 5 of them. I am going to have to open the case and make sure everything is seated properly. Again, thank you for all of your help.

Well Geaves,

Looks like the problem was the missing drive. I found a SATA connection that wasn't plugged in all the way. Once I plugged it in and powered it up, the RAID was showing up. Thank you for taking your time to help me out with this. I knew it had to be something I messed up.
