After some more research in the endless space of the internet I found
out how to do it by reading THIS :

On sunsolve the card is often referred to as FC100 or FC-100 so I can
understand your searching difficulties.
You should be able to find these packages on Solaris 8 disk 1 of 1
under the Product section.
Solaris 8, the card uses the ifp driver:
109189-04
Firmware for the card:
109399-03
Packages you need:
For the ssd driver:
SUNWssad SPARCstorage Array Drivers
SUNWssadx SPARCstorage Array Drivers
SUNWssaop SPARCstorage Array Utility
For the luxadm commands:
SUNWluxop Sun Enterprise Network Array firmware and utilities
SUNWluxox Sun Enterprise Network Array libraries
For the A5x000:
SUNWses SCSI Enclosure Services Device Driver
SUNWsesx SCSI Enclosure Services Device Driver (64-bit)
FC-100 drivers (ifp):
SUNWifp Sun Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Device Driver
SUNWifph Sun Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Driver Header File
SUNWifpx Sun Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Device Driver
