Thanks
This may be handy as we move further down the road .
We were first looking for if the ESXi Server had HBAs installed and then check for HBA port numbers.
We were given "Linux commands" examples (below) which, of course, do not work on ESXi and now am looking for CLI or PowerCLI to find similar info.
We also need to find disk numbers, ports, and slot numbers, but not sure if that is possible from PowerCLI.
thanks
How to find the list of HBA cards installed on your system:
# lspci -nn | grep -i hba

How to check the available HBA ports on the server:
# ls -l /sys/class/fc_host
total 0
