Physically rearranging disks in a 6140+CSM200 array

Good morning!
I could swear I'd read or been told that it's OK to physically move disk locations in a 6140 array without disturbing the RAIDs.
For example, I currently have my raids entirely within a tray (t0d1-5). Since I have grown to 5 trays, I want to take advantage of that by rearranging my disks so they use t0d1, t1d1, t2d1, t3d1, t4d1 -- that way if I lose an entire tray for any reason, my LUNs live!
My Oracle expert has told me that's a no-no-negatory, but i can't shake the feeling that it's OK to do. By way of a second opinion, can someone confirm one way or the other (and cite proof so I can sleep at night)?
