SCSI-3 disable on MSCS with MSA1500cs

Greetings,

Recently our company has started test MSCS W2K3 R2 64bit cluster on:
2 HP DL380 G5 servers (with 2 QLogic HBA FC1142SR - driver 9.1.3.16, BIOS 1.16)
2 HP MSA1500cs with 2 A/A controllers (firmware v.7.00)
2 HP StorageWorks SAN Switches 4Gb (firmware 5.2.1b)
Both MSA are planned to mirror online using VERITAS Storage Foundation 5.0 Enterprise for Windows.

On Hardware Compatibility List for VERITAS says that:
“At the time of the 5.0 release, SCSI-3 support for the HP StorageWorks MSA 1000/1500 has not been fully qualified by Symantec. Therefore, SCSI3 support cannot be used and must be disabled in the system registry when an HP StorageWorks MSA 1000/1500 array, by itself or in combination with other arrays, is connected to a host. For DMP DSM support the HP MSA arrays must be set to use the 'Windows' profile within the MSA array configuration.”

Please, help me how to disable SCSI3 support and go into detail with this problem.
Thank you!
