CCing the list just in case someone finds it useful. On one node run: echo LUN01 | dd of=/dev/emcpowera bs=5 count=1 echo LUN02 | dd of=/dev/emcpowerb bs=5 count=1 ... So you associate emcpowera with LUN1, emcpowerb with LUN2 and etc. On other nodes you read from every LUN: dd if=/dev/emcpowera bs=5 count=1 2>/dev/null ; echo dd if=/dev/emcpowerb bs=5 count=1 2>/dev/null ; echo ... This will help you to determine what is what and it's independent of which multipathing (if any) you use. Of course, another way is to get your System/Storage Admin to tell you but if you don't want to loose time or they can't be bothered or don't know or whatsover, you have this option.
