    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.
