Import RAID5 array on MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i card

This is kind of a follow-up to my previous "Moving MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i card RAID5 to different drives" post.

I created a RAID1 array with two of my new 10tb drives.  Since I didn't have any more drive connections, I disconnected all of the drives from the old array.  I got some warning about needing to import the other array.  Well, the cluster size is too small to handle the new size of the array that I want(20tb) and I managed to break something attempting to change the cluster size, so I need to get the previous array back(the disks are still in the machine anyway) how do I go about this?  Can I just plug it in?  My apologies as I haven't done much of this before.  I can see the files on the new array, but the drive itself is reporting that it needs to be formatted after I attempted to change the cluster size and resize the partition.

Ok well I'm replying to my own topic here.  Looks like my card will auto-import an old config.  Managed to get things going.
