Thank you for providing the screenshot. As per this I can say this is linear array because under Pool column I can see vdisk named dg01 instead of A or B otherwise A and B both which will be shown in case of Virtual Pool.
Few other way to check, if you click on Pools from the left side bar of the SMU V3, then you can see only dg01. If this was Virtual Array then you would have seen A or B otherwise A and B both.
Also if you go to Home screen, both Storage A and Storage B will show "Virtual: No Virtual Pool".
Also you can check from command line, execute command "show vdisks". In the output you should be able to see one column called "Class". That will show "Linear" or "Virtual".
Now coming to your issue, click on Pools and then hover your mouse pointer over the dg01, that will show you serial number of the dg01. Note down it. Do the same for other dg01 as well. You can also check the same from Command line as well. Execute command "show vdisks". In the output you can see "Serial Number".
These all required if you already moved all 8 drives from MSA2 to MSA1 but I will suggest to delete the volume and dg01 from MSA2 first before you move them to MSA1. That will help you in order to avoid confusion.
So from MSA2 you execute below commands,
show vdisks
show volumes
delete volumes HyperV
delete volumes Quorum
delete vdisks dg01
show disks
After the above all drives part of MSA2 should show in AVAIL state which means as if like new drives.
Then move them to MSA1. Now if you want to increase existing volume size then you have to increase existing vdisk named dg01 size as well and for that you need to go for vdisk expansion. For that refer Page 225 of SMU guide,

I would also suggest to refer page 40 of best practice white paper,

Hope this helps!
