Yes, right by analyzing camcontrol devlist it can be told, but i guess not=
=20
always.

[root@qa7 ~]# camcontrol devlist
<IFT A16F-G2422 348C> =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (=
da0,pass0)
<IFT A16F-G2422 348C> =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0at scbus0 target 0 lun 1 (=
da1,pass1)
<IFT A16F-G2422 348C> =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0at scbus0 target 0 lun 2 (=
da2,pass2)
<IFT A16F-G2422 348C> =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0at scbus0 target 0 lun 3 (=
da3,pass3)

Here luns are increasing, so it is SAN confirmed by tool. Now my point is i=
f i=20
have a SAN of less than 1TB and i make only 1 LUN. what should be output?
guessing: similar to
<IFT A16F-G2422 348C> =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (=
da0,pass0)

Then it will be difficult to tell, whether it is regular SCSI drives or SAN=
=2E=20
Then we need a tool that can tell this da0 belongs to SAN/SCSI or not

Thanks for any suggestion.
