Q: Can't restart volume after expanding array

I just inherrited a new Xraid 7X 400G that I added to the storage pool of my 3X 400g volume just to find out that I was waisting a lot of space. I decided to rearrange the setup to balance out and maximize the use of the drives. I therefore expanded the original array with one drive from the new Xraid and used another one as a hotspare making both Xraids 4X400G plus hotspare.
Eventhough I haven't added the new array to the volume pool yet I just can't start the old volume anymore to check and see if my data's still there. As you can see by my description I'm not experience in the matter but have managed to run a 3 video editing seater for the past 10 years based on:

Please help me access somehow my data!!! Thanks in advance

P.S. I might have moved cables around in the Fibre Channel Switch. Don't know if that could be an issue.
