V-76-58645-585: Failed to reserve a majority of disks in cluster dynamic disk group

Hi guys,

I have the issue with SCSI-3 reservation. Storage is ST6140/DS4700 with 7.50.x.x firmware, connected to the Windows 2003 server host with Emulex LPe11002 HBA (newest driver 2.20.6 and newest firmware 2.82a3)

I used utility suggested by you and here the output:

C:\SCSIcmd\SCSIcmd>scsicmd.exe -d4 -sscsi3_test

********************** SCSI-3 SUPPORT TEST ***********************************
* The SCSI-3 SUPPORT TEST performs a set of SCSI-3 PR on disk(s) specified in *
* -d option. *
* SCSICMD uses the predefined '1234567812345678' key in SCSI-3 support test. *
* *
* Make sure that the testing shouldn't be under the cluster resource. *
* *
* If SFW DMP (5.0 DDI-3/5.1 GA/5.1 DDI-1 or a newer DDI version) hasn't been *
* installed nor claim the disk, make sure that there is only one HBA path *
* connected to the disk(s) from the testing host before running SCSICMD tool. *

ERROR: Unable to perform SCSI-3 release action on harddisk4.
  The disk may be been under a cluster resource or

So import as dynamic disk group works fine, but as cluster disk group does not work.

I appreciate any ideas,
Thanks in advance
