I have a question on this vein - does Veritas provide commands for viewing and clearing SCSI3-PR values from disks/LUNs, for when the reservations on a LUN get mucked up? I've had issues with other software in the past where it gets royally messed it up, and the LUNs had to be reconfigured to make them usable by any server, which pretty much made the technology un-usable.
