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.
