1785 Drive Array Not configured, Run ADU

Hopefully a straight forward one but can someone explain the following ?

I have 2 DL380G3's :
Server A has 3 sets of Raid 1 (6x36Gb)
Server B has Raid 1 (2x36Gb) and Raid 5 (4x144Gb)

Part of our disaster recovery testing was to pretend a motherboard had failed on one of the servers so we pulled the disks (6x36Gb) and put into the other server - it booted up fine (Windows 2003 redetected a few things, rebooted and all was well)

I then tried to move just the Raid 5 (4x144Gb) from Server B into Server A (removing 4x36Gb) and it fails to boot with

I'm assuming you can move all disks between like array controllers (both 5i) but you can't move some disks ?

Does the array controller write the info across all disks ? Is there a tool that can be used to tell it its new config ?

Thanks
