Hi,

I am running VI 3.5.
For ESX 3.5 iSCSI is supported.

Most of the time I getting
:Too many SCSI reservation conflicts

Not sure whether when VCB is trying to create the snapshot for the backup it
encounters SCSI reservation conflitcts?
When creating a lock of the meta data of the vmfs is needed. Probably at
that moment there are already too much resevations for this LUN. 

Sometimes when I retry the backup it went thru.

According to this EMC doc, iSCSI is not supported by VCB.

"Note: Currently, Consolidated Backup is not supported for iSCSI or
NAS/NFS."
