Due to changes made to ESXCLI in vSphere 8, this information is no longer available.

Hi Tim,
i tested some commends on vSAN8 ESA nodes. In general it is possible to retrieve driver information.

$EsxCli.storage.san.sas.list.Invoke() | select DeviceName,DriverName,DriverVersion,FirmwareVersion

DeviceName : vmhba11
DriverName : lsi_msgpt35
DriverVersion : 29.00.00.00

$EsxCli.network.nic.get.Invoke(@{nicname="vmnic3"}).DriverInfo
