Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005009. In the first part of the "Solution" section, the article explains what reservations are used for and also lists the operations which require reservations.

SCSI-3 PGRs are never used by VMware.  The link above describes SCSI-2 reservations, which are the relevant ones.
