Unfortunatly it is in a major way:

root@testvm:~# ls /sys/class/scsi_disk/0\:0\:0\:0
FUA	       manage_start_stop	   protection_mode    uevent
allow_restart  max_medium_access_timeouts  protection_type    zeroing_mode
app_tag_own    max_retries		   provisioning_mode  zoned_cap
cache_type     max_write_same_blocks	   subsystem
device	       power			   thin_provisioning
