Might not be an answer to all your questions, but a start would perhapps be the "pcmpath" command. It might be unique to 100% IBM equipment though, not sure about 3'rd party storage?

For example:

pcmpath query device

You might also take a look at EMC's free "inq" command: ftp://ftp.emc.com/pub/symm3000/inquiry/
It understands a lot of third-party storage systems. The -mapinfo parameter will tell you a large amount of connectivity info for each disk.

Also found this page that helps translate the EMC serial number info to port connections: http://www.pcs-computing.com/support/emc_serial.html

You probably want inq.aix64_51, which is the 64-bit version.
Rename it to inq, chmod +x, then run it. It will scan your disks - each dot represents a disk being scanned.
When it's done, it will print a report.

inq -h

will show you all the available options, filters, etc.
