The WWN is either in VPD page 0x83 or 0x80 (in that order of preference).
You should be using the utility 'scsi_id' to generate the WWN for a given
path (eg call it like 'scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sdX'), as this is the same
program multipath is using.
So the scsi_id program will give a you a mapping sdX -> WWN. And to get
the mapping 'LUN -> sdX' you can simply do a
( cd -P /sys/block/sdX/device; echo ${PWD##*/} )
which will display the SCSI ID of the device; the last number of which is
the LUN presented to the OS.
The remainder is left as an exercise to the reader :-)
Cheers,
Hannes
