LiveVolume with ESXi 6.7U1
We need an official statement regarding support of "Live Volume" functionality with ESXi 6.7U1. SCOS 7.2 and 7.3 are supported with ESXi 6.7U1 but the document "Dell EMC SC Series Storage: Synchronous Replication and Live Volume" from july 2018 doesn't mention ESXi 6.7 or higher "

If you need an official statement from Dell in regards to the "Live Volume" functionality with ESXi 6.7U1 I would suggest to contact support. The site where you found that document is as it shows: This page is a frequently updated collection of all Dell EMC SC Series (including Compellent) technical documents and videos produced by Dell EMC storage engineering, marketing and solution partners.

There should be no issues when implementing Live Volume with vSpehere 6.7, but it will be dependant upon what you use it with. If you are using Auto Failover, or in conjunction with SRM, and make certain you are following the correct Multipathing Policies

Note that VMware has not updated their own documentation for vSpehere6.7:
