There is nothing wrong with your procedure, but you may face with a performance decrease -it may be negligible, but theoratically, it is possible- since RAID distributes all you indexes, tables, redo logs, archives etc., to somewhere that you are not sure, and this may be on the same disk(s). Only problem is that.
So, sometimes this is not a good way 8-)
