Hi Nair

You should find the HBA model / brand
run the ioscan -funC fc to list FC HBAs

and run the following command
fcmsutil vpd

The output will write the FC HBA model, then open the www.hp.com/go/bizsupport storage section and locate your HBA to download driver

If fcmsutil fails try to following command to get HBA model

echo 'scl q fibre;cds;q' | cstm

If not, do this

# ioscan -fnCfc

Now go to http://www.hp.com -> Software & Driver Downloads
and put the product # in and you will get the download page for your OS version 11.11, e.g.:
