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.

This is from my /proc/scsi/qla2300/1 file

Mine does not display the BIOS, only the firmware version:

Firmware version: 4.00.27, Driver version 7.07.04.02.3vmw
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)
Thanks - I just found that!
