RDM and SCSI3

Could one use RDM with SAN for SCSI3 use? Does ESX Server support this? Since with RDM the Guest OS would have direct access to the SAN Storage, my guess is SCSI3 should work from the Guest OS without problems..

Could someone please confirm?

the only caveat here is that the san is on the HCL and that your are using physical RDM's rather than virtual RDM's
