If you are passing the LUN to the VM with device='lun', the driver and
VMM do not interpret any SCSI command.  You should see exactly the same
data as in the host, which includes support for SPC-3:

>>> [root@localhost /]# sg_inq /dev/VM-IMAGES-BACKUP-DO-NOT-REMOVE/q_disk
>>> standard INQUIRY:
>>>   PQual=0  Device_type=0  RMB=0  version=0x05  [SPC-3]

>>>   SCCS=1  ACC=0  TPGS=1  3PC=0  Protect=0  [BQue=0]
>>>   EncServ=0  MultiP=0  [MChngr=0]  [ACKREQQ=0]  Addr16=0

Can you try using a Linux VM and executing sg_inq in the VM?
