Thanks for the reply. We're a unix shop so I don't have to worry about windows. I was aware that I can get this kind of information from the Host Utilities but was wondering if there was a way to get the info without installing Host Utilities. I'd be mainly interested in Linux.
Thanks for the help.

There are tools in the NetApp Host Utilities that already do this very thing. It is recommended (and on some platforms it's mandatory) that you use this method to connect your systems to the NetApp SAN.
On unix systems, a popular command that I use is:
sanlun lun show -p
Unfortunately, I am not as verse on Windows systems, but I expect something similar (if not the same). Good luck.

Subject: lun serial questionI recently became aware of the lun serial command and am wondering if there is anyway for a client that has said lun or luns presented to them to "see" this lun serial string. I'm thinking this would be an ideal way (i.e. script) to find out which lun corresponds to which filesystem/mountpoint on servers with lots of luns.
Thanks,
