vxfentsthdw fails when SCSI TEST UNIT READY command fails

If you see a message resembling:

Issuing SCSI TEST UNIT READY to disk reserved by other node 
FAILED.
 
Contact the storage provider to have the hardware configuration 
fixed.
 
The disk array does not support returning success for a SCSI 
TEST UNIT READY command when another host has the disk reserved 
using SCSI-3 persistent reservations. This happens with Hitachi 
Data Systems 99XX arrays if bit 186 of the system mode option is 
not enabled.
