No.

Probably, given the range of SCSI devices out there.

Are the unconfigured LUNs showing up as if they were configured?

Most disk/RAID arrays made in the last few years can configure whether
they report back as SCSI-2 or SCSI-3. It would be best if you could change
the device to report as SCSI-3.

Even some SCSI disk drives are capable of reporting back as SCSI-2 or
SCSI-3.
