Just to eliminate any ambiguity here, using terminology from the
standards: A LUN is a logical unit number. A WWN is a fibre channel port
or node name. There's no such thing as a LUN WWN. I presume you mean to
check the logical unit device identifier, which is the world wide unique
and persistent identifier of a logical unit. (That's what you get (among
other things) from Page 0x83 of the SCSI VPD read from the LU).
