Are these disks connected to a hardware RAID controller (vendor/model)? Software RAID controllers are not supported in ESXi.

In case it's a supported RAID controller, check whether you see the RAID volumes when you select the storage controller. If they show up, use the "Add Storage" wizard to create datastores on the RAID volumes.
