First you'd want to find which drivers are needed.

Check http://www.emc.com/interoperability and download the EMC support matrix. In there look for your OS and server model and check which footnotes apply.

The footnotes often say if you get the drivers from the vendor of the card (Qlogic or Emulex), or from the vendor of the OS (IBM).

Which server model, AIX version and HBA model are you using?

Eric,
 
HW = 9110 510 (51A) and 520(IO INTERFACE)  /  Also a 52A and 520(IO interface)
The IO interface has 2 standard HBA's out of the box option...

I would recommend downloading the "EMC Host Connectivity Guide for IBM AIX" doc from PowerLink.  If you don't have a PowerLink account, you will need to register.  See this post for more info, link

For the combination of the IBM p5-510 9110-51A and the CX3-80, the supported HBAs per the EMC support matrix are the IBM 1905, 1910, 5758, 5759, 1977 and 5716.

If you have a powerlink account, go to the interoperability matrix, in the search field enter "9110" and select your specific server model from the list. Then search for the cx3-80 and select the EMC Clariion CX3-80.

Now on the right side click "get results" and click on the base connectivity. This provides info about supported configurations and has footnotes that show extra details about specific requirements.

As the list of supported HBAs are all IBM HBAs, the drivers would probably be either part of the OS itself, or would be available from IBM (website).
