Obtaining Host Bus Adapter (HBA) driver and firmware information
#esxcfg-scsidevs -a // Obtain the driver type that the Host Bus Adapter is currently using
#vmkload_mod -s HBADriver |grep Version //Use the following command to see what driver version is being used:
(for eg, vmkload_mod -s mptspi |grep Version)
#vmkchdev -l |grep vmhba1 // To check to see what driver is recommended for that card we need to get the VID (Vendor Id), DID (Device Id), SVID (Sub-Vendor Id) and SDID (Sub-Device Id)
000:16.0 1000:0030 15ad:1976 vmkernel vmhba1
In the above cases the VID=1000, DID=0030, SVID=15ad, SDID=1976
You can now search the VMware Compatibility Guide for VID (Vendor Id), DID (Device Id), SVID (Sub-Vendor Id) and SDID (Sub-Device Id) or in some cases you may need to do a text search here to narrow down the particular card
