There was some bug in the EMC firmware that returned a non-standard VPD page 0x83 (pre-spc3 format). You'll have to check scsi_id, it should have some fixes for it. Be sure to have the most recent version of scsi_id (resp udev) installed. It should be called with the option '-p pre-spc3-83'. Alternatively there is always the possibility of a misconfiguration; AFAIK EMC has a setting to always return the same information for each drive; of course this should be switched off ...
