scsi_id comes with udev, and uses an SG_IO to retrieve VPD page 0x83
or 0x80. It does a little bit more than that, however, and will
return a slightly different WWN than sg3_utils. According to SPC3, an
Identification Descriptor on VPD page 0x83 begins with a 4-bit code
set, then a 4-bit protocol identifier, then a 4-bit identifier type.
The identifier types are
0x00 vendor specific
0x01 T10 vendor ID based
0x02 EUI-64 based
0x03 NAA (Name Assigning Authority?)
0x04 relative target port id
0x05 target port group
0x06 logical unit group
0x07 MD5 logical unit id
0x08 SCSI name string
When the scsi_id program parses the VPD 0x83 data, it will prepend
this number to the identifier found in the VPD 0x83 descriptor.
sg3_utils does not do this. For example:
# scsi_id -g -s /block/sda
3600601601040190000c7da47f286dc11
# sg_inq -p 0x83 /dev/sda

In my scsitool, I chose to emulate the scsi_id behavior
# scsitool --devname=sda --hbtl --wwid
sda 0:0:0:0 3600601601040190000c7da47f286dc11

The --hbtl switch to scsitool gives host:bus:target:lun. If the
device is multipathed, you will see the same lun with different h:b:t
combinations. So what you could do is
scsitool --wwid --hbtl | awk '/:2 $/ { print $1 }' | sort -u
That gives you the WWID of LUN 2. Unfortunately, there seems to be a
trailing space in the output ... I'll fix that and turn a rev.
