Firmware version of vmhba LSI Avago MegaRAID doesn't recognized by Get-ESXIODevice #51

Hello! I've got some troubles with getting Firmware version info about all Avago (LSI) RAID bus controllers: image

From ESXi console needed information (at this moment) I can get with utility storcli:

/opt/lsi/storcli/storcli /c0 show all

String Firmware Version contains needed data of FW version that installed on controller. The only data that I can get from ESXi console with esxcli was only Firmware Package Build (without correct vmhba model name) with command:

esxcli storage san sas list

   Device Name: vmhba2
   SAS Address: 52:4a:52:c0:8c:aa:10:00
   Physical ID: 0
   Minimum Link Rate: 0 Mbps
   Maximum Link Rate: 0 Mbps
   Negotiated Link Rate: 0 Mbps
   Model Description:

   Driver Name: lsi_mr3
   Driver Version: 7.708.07.00

   Device Name: vmhba5
   SAS Address: 50:00:62:b2:04:c4:11:80
   Physical ID: 0
   Minimum Link Rate: 0 Mbps

Maybe there is something that we can do about this ? Or there is only method to fork IODevice module and create additional conditions with finding that match MegaRAID with $pciDevice.DeviceName -match "MegaRAID" and use storcli if it is available with construction like : 

/opt/lsi/storcli/storcli /c0 show all | grep "Firmware Version = " | awk '{print $4}'
5.060.01-2262

Might be besides the point but there is an easier way to work with storcli. If you add J to any storcli command if will output into json format. This can easily be converted into powershell object using convertfrom-json

This way you do not need to parse text.

That being said, I tested the esxcli command on my end and for 6.7 san was list will give package version, for 7.x releases it provides the expected firmware version.
