Ok, listening to all of this, I've also been in touch with a tech from the vendor*, who had a couple of suggestions: first, two RAID sets with two global hot spares.
I've just spoken with my manager, and we're going with that, then one of the tech's other suggestions was three volume sets on top of the two RAID sets, so we'll have what look like three drives/LUNs of about 13+TB each.
<snip> Followup comment: I created the two RAID sets, then started to create the volume sets... and realized I didn't know if it was *possible*, much less desirable, to have a volume set that spanned two RAID sets. Talked it over with my manager, and I redid it as three RAID sets, one volume set each.
Maybe the initialization will be done tomorrow.... <g>
