OK, o I guess Server will be the only Operating System on the device. And because you ‚see‘ sda and sdb, you don’t have a hardware raid but use a software raid.
Second bunch of questions:
(a) Do you need to keep data? If yes, how they are stored? On its own partition?
If not, is there anything against completely restructuring the hard disks? Then you wouldn't have to worry about the UUID at all.
(b) how are the disk currently formatted, what is the output of
lsblk
(c) Do you know, if it is a BIOSboot machine or an UEFI machine?
Because you can see 2 drives, I assume that any fake-RAID BIOS settings
are disabled. You appear to be looking at a 2-drive JBOD setup with
identical UUIDs for some unknown reason. Since this is going to be the
only operating system on the machine and we have no idea what was done
to those drives, just format them as part of the install and get them
into a known state.
Instead of messing around with a fairly complicated and error-prone
mechanism using EXT4 or XFS and MD-RAID layers, just install using BTRFS
in its RAID-1 configuration. Its faster (as fast as XFS on reads), more
reliable due to everything being checksummed and duplexed, simpler,
handles failing drives in a more obvious way, and is the default
filesystem in Fedora Workstation anyways.
