Updating an HBA driver
Simple SAN Connection Manager provides an easy way to update drivers for HP StorageWorks 81Q PCI-e

on the shortcut menu, click Update HBA Driver to select that specific server to update the HBA driver.
The HBA Driver Update wizard opens.

If no specific server is selected, in the Available Server(s) list, select the server for which you want to
