Usually PSOD is caused by wrong firmware or driver version.

Could ou check you hba firmware version?

VMware Knowledge Base

And then we need to check it on compatibility matrix, maybe there is a known issue.

Check also output from this:

esxcli  storage core adapter list

vmkchdev -l |grep vmhba3 example: vmkchdev -l |grep vmhba0
