Or, when using virtio-blk emulation:
Meanwhile, a similar disk configured on ESXi 5.5 U3b as a "pass-through RDM" looks like this in the guest:

Code:
linux_in_bhyve# lsblk --output vendor,model,serial /dev/sda
VENDOR MODEL SERIAL
ATA BHYVE SATA DISK BHYVE-FC87-ABA5-711B
Or, when using virtio-blk emulation:
Code:
linux_in_bhyve# lsblk -o vendor,model,serial /dev/vdb
VENDOR MODEL SERIAL
0x1af4

Code:
