Instructions
Unity and Unity XT support SCSI-3 Persistent Reservation.
Support was added to all Unity physical models and UnityVSA for two additional SCSI-3 persistent reservation types, type 7 and type 8. Support for types 7 and 8 is required to support certain VMware functionalities such as Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) on ESXi using shared VMDKs. IBM clustering requires types 7 and 8 for fast I/O fencing.
