For anyone that comes across this issue, I have heard back from VMware Engineering:
"before the upgrade the VASA provider was using vvol-ids with 32 hexadecimal digits (no hyphens) format, example: "600009700BCBC34D4CEB006700019D61" and after the upgrade VASA provider is using NAA 64-bit UUID with prefix, example: "naa.600009700BCBC34D4CEB006700019D61".
With the firmware upgrade the vvol-id format must not change.
This change has caused vvold to crash and it is unable to keep running.
We need to check with Dell EMC Powermax side, why they are not following the same format across firmware versions."
