[ale] Suse 9.3 and fiber storage

I have a bunch of Suse 9.3 servers with various apps that need to be
migrated to RHEL 5 or 6.  

I have back end SANs attached via QLogic hbas.

How do I verify how the attached storage is mounted (ie, this mount is
remote via the hba).

There is no /etc/mulitpath.conf

What I am looking for is a way I can get info and make a "map" that I
can duplicate on the new OS.  The new storage will be entirely new
partitions/luns on completely different LUNs, but the "structure" might
need to be the same, ie: /somemount is 17G /somemount2 is 15G etc.

/dev/disk/by-* has by-id and by-uuid and by-path.

I know this is both rather simple and broad, but I have zero fiber/HBA
experience and it would appear I don't know the proper search terms to
google.

If it matters the back end is (old) is a Hitachi and I don't know the
front end.  I will not be tasked with slicing up the LUNs, but reporting
what sizes I need them to be, then mounting the partitions with the
proper mount points on the new OS.
