Thank you all for your response, but it looks as though this one was the winner!!! Special thanks to Mr. Romanowski and yes, the mystery lies within the SCSI_id and just converting that number to hex. Thanks again,

Look online for the manual "IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume ControllerCommand-Line Interface User's Guide" Here's sample output (probably folded across two lines); the SCSI_id column is the LUN's hex id in decimal (decimal 102 below is hex LUN id 0066) svcinfo lshostvdiskmap Z10_P1-T1Linux id name SCSI_id vdisk_id vdisk_name wwpn vdisk_UID 240 Z10_P1-T1Linux 102 186 Z_TZ2BF152_V2 5005076401E2893A 6005076801818076280000000000062F 240 Z10_P1-T1Linux 103 667 Z_TZ2BF152_V3 5005076401E2893A 60050768018180762800000000000633 (the SVC's SCSI_id column is not to be confused with the value given by linux's scsi_id command. I found that prefixing 3 to the SVC's vdisk_UID is the same value returned by linux's scsi_id command)
