Multiple drives failed. Possible to solve?

I have a Smart Array P440ar that has multiple failed devices. Would this be possible to solve with replacing the failed drives? Or could there be something else wrong here?

Greetings!

From the error messages, it seems like the logical drive has failed. However please perform the following steps and check. 

1. Please boot the server to Intelligent Provisioning (F10) and click Perform Maintenance. Select HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA) from the maintenance options.
2. Select the failed logical drive and then check if you see option to re-enable the logical drive. 
3. If no then, it could be RAID failure. You could log a support case to understand underlying issue for the RAID failure. 

I hope you have valid data backup.
