Continuously receiving SMART alerts for discontinued hard drives.

I have encountered a problem where the decommissioned hard drive keeps receiving SMART alerts repeatedly.
My PVE version is 8.2.4 and I am using DELL R750 hardware.
Hard drives 0 and 1 are 1TB SSDs used for the OS installation of PVE.
Hard drives 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are 4TB mechanical drives configured in RAID5 using a DELL RAID card, and one of them is assigned as RDM to a VM.
Due to the need for data disk expansion, I shut down the VM and deleted the RAID configuration in DELL IDRAC. Then I installed 6 new 12TB hard drives and configured them in RAID5, assigning them to the VM.
However, since I reconfigured the system, I have been receiving SMART alerts from PVE every day, indicating that the old hard drives are missing. Here is an example:

Please advise on how to resolve this issue and stop receiving these outdated alerts.
