Cant resize a LUN
Dont use vSCSI adapter Any
SSP may take more CPU
client partition can connect
No SCSI reservations (Reserve/Release)
AMS or Suspend/Resume cant
HA SAN solutions used to mitigate outages
use SSP for Paging Space
SANCOM not supported
Lots of restrictions were dropped for this release
