Change host persona to 15 - WindowsServer

This is a windows cluster running on VMware and we add ESXi hosts in 3PAR with Host persona 11. So how do we ensure the LUNs assigned to ESXi hosts have SCSI3 reservation enabled? Changing host persona to windows meaning considering it a windows host but it is an ESXi host on which cluster is going to run.

Most likely you are not using "virtual compatibility mode" for the assigned VMDK drives. Please refer to VMware doc about setting up Microsoft Failover Cluster in VMware environment.
