Alternatively for Emulex (lpfc) or QLogic (qlaxx) Storage Adapters, you can run one of these commands to find the driver being used:
For QLogic, run this command:
cat /proc/scsi/qlaxx/x
For Emulex, run this command:
cat /proc/scsi/lpfc/x
You see output similar to:

Note: In ESXi 5.5 and later, you do not see native drivers in the
/proc nodes. To view native driver information, run the command:
/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmgmt_keyval/vmkmgmt_keyval -a Similar procedures can be used in the Networking section to ensure the device is on the
VMware Hardware Compatibility Guide.
