You will need to share a your /proc/mdstat and/or a pointer to which ext 
script you are using to monitor your md RAID. I suspect that your RAID 
arrays are defined as a two member RAID1 with one missing member, 
therefore, they would be expected to show as red, because they are failed.

You could either define the RAID arrays as RAID1 with only one member, 
or else define them as RAID0 with only one member.

Or, you could add the spare drives as spares, or simply not define them 
as RAID arrays until you actually need to use them.
