Why not reverse this? Create 7 raid0 volumes of 144gb each on the 6130, then create a six-way raidz on solaris with one hot spare. This eliminates the raid-5 write hole on the array, ensures data integrity from misdirected writes, and gives you 720gb instead of 600gb. I'm not a storage guy, though, so feel free to shoot me down.
