Is there a way to determine a Qlogic HBA BIOS level on an ESX 3.0.2 host besides on bootup?

you can install the iscli tool from qlogic in the service console. it will provide this information and provide you the ability to make changes to the HBA settings (EG Timeout Settings)

Check under /proc/scsi/qla2300

There should be 1 and 2, depending on how many hba's you have. Cat that file, and it will tell you the HBA details.
