For SAN disks hosted by EMC DMX (Symmetrix) or CLARiiON arrays, you'll
probably find a program called "inq" installed on your system somewhere.
On our AIX boxes, it's installed in /usr/lpp/EMC/Symmetrix/bin or
/usr/lpp/CLARiiON/bin. It was somewhere else on my old HP boxes. I'm not
sure if there are native tools to deal with HP/Sun/HDS storage subsystems,
but that may also depend on your O/S platform.

The other replies work okay if the disks in question are part of volume
groups already and used optimally... ;-) And, in fact, you can almost
always make a VG out of a SAN disk and see what LSVG/LSPV says about it...
