As far as commands go, the "modern" way to do this is "mpathadm list lu"

But it too can be slow when you have a lot of LUNs configured, but  
after the first time it's ran, things appear to be cached. For  
example, I have a system with 190 multipathed LUNs. The first time I  
ran "mpathadm list lu" on it, there was about a 10 second lag before  
any output was shown. Subsequent executions of that command produced  
output almost immediately.
