Local fix

Problem summary

  • When using reserve_policy of PR_shared for 3PAR storage,
    unexpected reservation conflicts are encountered on the paths
    which registered for the reserve.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Fail chdev when trying to set PR_shared for 3PAR Storage, when
    using ODM shipped with AIX.  Vendor provided ODM may still
    allow PR_shared as an option.  PR_shared should not be used
    with 3PAR storage until the Storage is updated to handle PR
    Type 7 reservations properly.
    

Temporary fix
