I didn't do anything special when I installed ESXi. That's just the driver that was chosen. Is there someplace I can lookup exactly what the driver is supposed to be for? The controller is an LSI* SAS3008 SAS 12G .
Edit:
More info on the controller:

EDIT #2
After more searching and keying in the device parameters I did find this device in the hardware compatibility list, but it lists different drivers than the one that was picked:
VMware Compatibility Guide: I/O Device Search
However, I was unable to lookup the firmware version of the controller, or at least wasn't able to get ESXi to show that, without rebooting the server and bringing up the RAID Bios screen, so I'm not 100% sure of that part, but for ESXi6 it only listed one firmware version and I did apply the latest BIOS and RAID firmware from Intel when I built this server about 60 days ago. If I install one of these drivers will it just be picked up, or do I need to do something to force the driver to be used with the controller?
