Do we support Brocade 804 FC HBA with ESXi 5.0?

[chuckk281]

Terri had a customer question:

******************

Is ESX 5 supported with the Brocade 804 FC HBA? If so, are there recommended drivers?

Customer has installed ESXi 5.0 on BL465c G7 and the OS does not see the FC HBA at all. This is on 3 new blade servers - all new setup.

Info from Brian:
